Stagecoach Supertram services between Sheffield Station and the city centre have been suspended following the discovery of a hole in the ground alongside the Park Square delta junction on Saturday 30th August. This is affecting services on both the Blue and Purple route meaning trams are only able to operate Halfway to Sheffield Station and Herdings Park to Sheffield Station, the Yellow route is unaffected and trams are continuing to run from Meadowhall to Cathedral (ongoing engineering works are preventing services from running beyond the city centre at the moment).
The problem is not directly affecting tramway infrastructure but the hole is in very close proximity to an overhead pole and so Supertram have made the decision not to take any chances. Engineers attended the scene on Monday afternoon to survey the damage but it is not expected that tram services will resume past the affected the area for a while yet.
Passengers who wish to travel between the city centre and Manor Top have been told that Supertram tickets will be valid on the Stagecoach bus services 120 and 123 during this disruption.
