In the News
This week Sheffield has been in the news several times with 111 welcoming a new advert whilst we have also seen photos as an enhanced service ran for the Tramlines Festival over the last weekend in July 2026. We've also returned to the National Tramway Museum to see the latest progress on the conversion of Blackpool 645 into a new Access Tram, with it due to be launched in just seven weeks time. Meanwhile, in Edinburgh there are still no trams to Newhaven as work to make the building on Princes Street safe following its fire in July.

Enjoy the update!
