Although it had been hoped that a full service would be able to resume by Friday 6<sup>th<\/sup> May, this has now proven not to be the case \u201cdue to further work arising\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>On the Stagecoach Supertram Twitter feed it says: \u201cDue to further work arising, the Blue route will continue to operate to\/from Beighton Drakehouse, including Friday 6th May. We do expect a full service to resume soon, and any updates will be posted on both our website and Twitter. Apologies if you are affected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This means that all trams from Malin Bridge continue to terminate at Beighton\/Drake House Lane. Arriving at the usual Halfway bound platform trams then board passengers at that platform for the return journey with the tram regaining the correct track immediately after departure using the crossover \u2013 allowing passengers to travel over some rare track. (Although we expect the numbers who are pleased about that are rather outnumbered by those who would like to take the tram to Halfway!)<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44914\" style=\"width: 560px\"
