Supertram essential rail replacement works – Sunday 3 April

Supertram is planning to carry out essential rail replacement works on sections of track where they cross over Granville Road. The rail replacement works are scheduled to take place on Sunday 3 April and will affect Blue and Purple Route tram services. Visit our disruptions page for details of services affected.

VolkerRail, the contractor carrying on the works on behalf of Supertram will also carry out preparation works over four consecutive nights (between the hours of 23:30 and 05:00 each night) commencing on the evening of Monday 28 March until Friday 1 April but these works will not impact on tram services.

These works form part of their ongoing maintenance programme and are critical to extend the lifespan of the tram network and maintain the reliable, comfortable and safe level of service customers have come to expect.

Alternative bus services and ticket information

• Customers travelling between Halfway, Manor Top and city can use Stagecoach service 120.
• Customers travelling between Herdings Park, White Lane, Gleadless Townend and Hollinsend Road can use First bus services in those areas.

Valid tram tickets will be accepted on Stagecoach service 120 and on First bus services operating in the Herdings Park, White Lane, Gleadless Townend and Hollinsend Road areas.
