dutch Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 That Cambridge bus is another perfect example of how in England something that's gone wrong is called a success. Tram on meadow hall section is getting pretty busy lately, welcome some increase in capacity on that section. When it gets too busy conductor often gets stuck and stops selling tickets, people get a free ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilge Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 At last Sheff will finally have a rail connection to Rotherham that allows time to read a newspaper, rather than the 12 minute one we've had for decades. Only joking - I think Tram Train will be a great success and I hope Sheffield is at the head of the queue for more lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_N Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 WHY such an early finish? Last X78 doesn't leave Sheffield until 2325 and the last X1 leaves Sheffield at 2307? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belperite Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) I wonder what effect the collapse of Carillion will have on the Tram-Train project? I am sorry for the people who have lost their jobs. Edited January 15, 2018 by belperite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I wonder what effect the collapse of Carillion will have on the Tram-Train project? Unlikely to derail it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Unlikely to derail it. I see what you did there! Maybe it's the end of the line? Anyone else getting mixed signals about the future of this project? Has the project run out of steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Bynnol Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 All the trackwork and 95% of the wiring and platform work is complete. Signalling-not sure, testing is to be done. The Carillion team on this project has plenty of essential and profitable work to do and no doubt will be kept going by the administrators. The National train timetable includes TrainTram running from May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 As it is a government job, there is no reason to think that the work will stop. Especially as they have pledged that all public sector work will be paid directly. By all accounts from those in the know, all the delays to this project have been down to network rail.
