Plan ahead for Easter Bank Holiday travel

Plan ahead and check your journey before you travel over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, as essential engineering works will affect rail and tram services in the region.  

National restrictions are still in place which means you should minimise your journeys and try to stay local, if you do need to travel please remember to regularly wash or sanitise your hands, wear a face covering, unless you’re exempt, and keep your distance from others and leave windows open where possible, so everyone can travel safely.

 

Tram and Tram Train network

Due to essential engineering works on the main track junction near Fitzalan Square/Ponds Forge in Sheffield, all tram and Tram Train services will be suspended on Saturday 3 April around 8pm, resuming on Tuesday morning (6 April).

During this period, tram replacement bus services will run between Fitzalan Square/Pond Square and Manor Top (BL1) and Gleadless Townend and Halfway (BL2).

Valid tram tickets will be accepted on Stagecoach and First buses in Sheffield and Rotherham where tram or Tram Train services usually operate and on Northern Rail’s train replacement buses between Sheffield and Meadowhall Interchange.   

A list of alternative bus services and the tram replacement bus services timetables are available on the Stagecoach Supertram website.
