Blue route: No service between Gleadless Townend and Halfway

Blue route status
The Blue route is currently suspended between Gleadless Townend and Halfway, alongside the planned closure between Cathedral and Sheffield Station. 

We're sorry if your journey is affected. This is due to an issue identified with the track near Birley.  

There is no Blue route service at White Lane, Birley, Birley Moor Road, Hackenthorpe, Donetsk Way, Moss Way, Crystal Peaks Interchange, Drake House Lane (Beighton), Waterthorpe, Westfield or Halfway.

The track issue requires specialist engineering assessment, which we expect to be undertaken on Monday 25th August. We will continue to provide updates on progress via this page.
