Essential engineering works on the major junction at Park Square just outside Sheffield City Centre will see major disruption to services on the Supertram network from 2000 on Saturday 3rd<\/sup> April until the start of service on Tuesday 6th<\/sup> April (Easter weekend). During this period no trams will run on any route with limited replacement bus services announced and prospective passengers guided towards normal services buses with ticket acceptance in place for those with tram tickets.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All routes on the Supertram network have to run via the Park Square junction making it a well used section of track. Although it may have been possible to run limited services either side of the junction (although with the depot being stuck on the Meadowhall route this probably wouldn\u2019t have been ideal for the overnight stabling of trams) the decision has been taken that the complete network will be shutdown for just over two days.<\/p>\n

Services will run to the normal Saturday timetable on Easter Saturday \u2013 3rd<\/sup> April \u2013 until 2000 at which point trams will stop running. The last tram times for each service are:<\/p>\n

Blue route Halfway to Malin Bridge \u2013 1823<\/p>\n

Blue route Halfway to Cathedral \u2013 1923<\/p>\n

Blue route Malin Bridge to Halfway \u2013 1822<\/p>\n

Blue route Malin Bridge to Cricket Inn Road \u2013 1927<\/p>\n

Yellow route Meadowhall to Middlewood \u2013 1855<\/p>\n

Yellow route Meadowhall to Cathedral \u2013 1925<\/p>\n

Yellow route Meadowhall to Woodbourn Road \u2013 1955<\/p>\n

Yellow route Middlewood to Meadowhall \u2013 1909<\/p>\n

Yellow route Middlewood to Cricket Inn Road \u2013 1939<\/p>\n

Purple route Herdings Park to Cathedral \u2013 1922<\/p>\n

Purple route Cathedral to Herdings Park \u2013 1845<\/p>\n

Purple route Cathedral to Cricket Inn Road \u2013 1946<\/p>\n

Tram-Train Rotherham Parkgate to Cathedral \u2013 1931<\/p>\n

Tram-Train Cathedral to Rotherham Parkgate \u2013 1927<\/p>\n

Tram-Train Cathedral to Cricket Inn Road \u2013 2000<\/p>\n

There will then be no trams at all on Easter Sunday (4th<\/sup> April) and Easter Monday (5th<\/sup> April) before the current revised service resumes from the start of service on Tuesday 6th<\/sup> April.<\/p>\n

While the literature on the Supertram website doesn\u2019t clear show that there will be dedicated bus replacement services there will be two running:<\/p>\n
