The Stagecoach Supertram rail replacement works have now moved onto 2019\u2019s area two with the main work due to take place in the Shalesmoor area. Once again this will see changes for the Yellow and Blue routes with no trams able to run any further than Shalesmoor from Meadowhall and Halfway. For most of the time the Blue route will run to Shalesmoor but apart from in the evenings and weekends the Yellow route will only run to Cathedral.<\/p>\n

Work on this area started on Monday 3rd June and is due to run until Thursday 18th July. The first worksite is just to the city side of Hillsborough in the vicinity of Ripley Street and Hatton Road.<\/p>\n
