Supertram essential engineering works - Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 August

From the evening of Saturday 20 August until start of service Monday 22 August Supertram will be carrying out essential rail replacement works on both the inbound and outbound track on South Street Bridge. These works will affect Blue and Purple Route 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.

Supertram has posted letters to all affected local residents and businesses notifying them of the proposed works and any disruptions they may cause.

Trams will operate as follows:

  • Blue Route tram services will operate between Cricket Inn Road and Malin Bridge only.
