Monday 24th May saw further delays on the Stagecoach Supertram network with the issues this time causing the Tram-Train service to be temporarily diverted away from Cathedral and running through to Sheffield Station instead. This meant there was the rare daytime use of south-eastern side of the Park Square junction which usually only sees early morning and evening services operate over it.
Its not known what the issue causing the delays was but for a Tram-Train from Rotherham Parkgate being diverted across Park Square junction to the Station suggests there was some kind of problem between Fitzalan Square and Cathedral. The problems weren’t particularly long-term as services soon returned to the usual route.
Park Square delta junction is well used by trams with the majority running from Sheffield Station into the city centre (or in reverse) on the Blue or Purple routes of from Hyde Park to the city centre (or vice versa again) on the Yellow or Tram-Train routes. The “straight across” route directly between the route to Hyde Park and Sheffield Station is rarely used with just a few early morning and evening services timetabled to run across.
