We go back to the end of April 2026 for this week's set of photos as Reece Hughes paid a visit to the South Yorkshire Supertram network. Images come from various locations on the system - including a trip to Herdings Park.

In the News
This week we have reported on the latest (and last) tram move to Dudley as 22 moves from the West Midlands Metro for repairs. There has also been the news that the week of 22nd June 2026 will be the final guaranteed chance to ride on one of the original Metrocars with their withdrawal planned for early evening on 26th June 2026. More adverts have been seen in Manchester with 3076 telling us that Love Connects Everyone whilst 3081 now advertises Oura Ring. The business case for re-extending the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway has been submitted and will be discussed by Tynwald later in June. Meanwhile, in Blackpool comes the news that there is an ORR Improvement Notice owing to the bogie issues on the Flexity2 trams.

Please enjoy the update!

Picture of the Week: South Yorkshire Supertram 116 & 115

The two trams in Sheffield which promote Park and Ride sites across the Supertram network are seen together here as they both run on the Yellow route. On the left is 116 and coming towards us is 115 in the newer version of the livery and with the new Supertram logo. This was 27th April 2026.
