Supertram Network Improvements
Find out more about upcoming improvement and maintenance works
In March, South Yorkshire Supertram came back under public control after 27 years. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) is now investing around £5m this year to future proof and extend the lifespan of our tram network.
From installing new tracks to planned maintenance, from time to time, improvements to our network will affect tram services. It's essential that we maintain and replace some sections of the track to ensure the safe and smooth operation of our trams.
We appreciate it can cause disruption for some customers and we make every effort to minimise this as much as possible.
Essential engineering works on Holme Lane from Saturday 29 June to Sunday 30 June have been completed. Blue and Yellow route services have returned to their regular timetable.
Thank you for your patience while these essential works were completed.
There are no further works to announce at this time.

How we're minimising disruption
We're working hard to minimise any temporary disruption arising from network improvement works. By incorporating your feedback, we're ensuring that plenty of information is available, and where necessary tram replacement bus services will operate to provide onward connection for your journey.
We're making every effort to keep as much of the tram network in operation as possible during improvement works. This could mean that certain areas of the network have separate tram services, connected by a convenient replacement bus service.
Wherever possible and necessary we'll provide a tram replacement bus service. Bus services will be timetabled to be as fast and co-ordinated as possible with tram services. You'll be able to travel on tram replacement bus services with any valid Supertram ticket.
Timetable information for tram and replacement bus services will be provided in full online, and details will also be provided at tram and bus stops. Whenever possible we'll also ensure our journey planner and third party providers are updated with amended service information.
We want to make it as easy as possible to keep travelling during any improvement works, so affected tram stops will have printed informaiton displayed, including service frequency, maps and replacement bus information. Bus stops will also have printed information available.
We're working hard to support all travelers with easy to understand and accessible information. Audio announcements will be available on trams, our webpages will have comprehensive accessibility information to help you plan head, and you can call Traveline for further support.
In June we conducted a survey on the May 2024 city centre rail replacement works. Your feedback on the experience is really important to us, and we're already incorporating improvements. You can also contact Travel South Yorkshire to share feedback with us.
