Out and about for another edition of \u201cLockdown Walks\u201d today as we find ourselves at Hillsborough in Sheffield.<\/p>\n

The seven Citylink tram-trains built for Supertram in 2015-6 were ordered from Vossloh although after a takeover of that company by Stadler construction was completed under that banner. Mainly ordered for the proposed tram-train pilot an additional order was made to help enhance capacity on the remainder of the network. As of now four of the trams are allocated to tram-train services with the other three used on the conventional network, owing to the different wheel profiles needed for each service the first four are currently dedicated to the tram-train service although it is possible for these to be swapped if the wheelsets are changed.<\/p>\n

We see one of the conventional trams, 399 207, at Hillsborough as it turns the corner onto the Blue route bound for Malin Bridge. A points fault had meant the driver of the tram had manually changed the points to access this branch.
