What's causing the disruption?
There is a track fault on Park Grange Road, which has meant that services have had to be cancelled between Gleadless Townend and Sheffield city centre.
We have also had to reduce the frequency of tram services between Gleadless Townend and Halfway. This is due to the operational challenges of maintaining service in this area at short-notice without access to our depot at Nunnery Square.
Staff are doing all they can to get services back up and running. Further updates will be provided as soon as they are available.
We apologise to those impacted by the disruption.
