We have another five days of bonus “Lockdown Walks” for you this week and in this edition we are back to the Stagecoach Supertram route out to Meadowhall.
The tram-train service to Rotherham Parkgate first carried passengers back in October 2018 and after a two year pilot – which ended in October 2020 – the service is continuing with the concept seemingly proved and other locations in the UK now interested in their own routes. It is currently running a reduced timetable to that which ran pre-pandemic with two services an hour from Cathedral to Rotherham Parkgate.
399 203 is captured just as it leaves Meadowhall South with a service which will head to Rotherham Parkgate.
203 continues it way onto the tram-train route, seen here swerving to the right onto the Tinsley chord and then the shared track to Rotherham. (Both Photographs by Stuart Cooke, 22nd April 2021)
