JJRB Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Will the launch be cancelled tomorrow?? With no trams using the Cathedral points due to constant failures can’t see it happening. Would be the icing on the cake...... tens millions over budget and can’t even launch on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl1 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 It would be par for the course after all how many of the key deadlines have they met? of course it will not be the fault of Stagecoach or the PTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engineering work to install the new parts at Cathedral points is complete and a normal service is operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Just got on one, packed with people trying it out. Got something to do at Meadowhall anyway. They sound a little more rattling but not bad. ---------- Post added 25-10-2018 at 12:27 ---------- It runs a lot faster quit smooth on train tracks. Everyone on it is amazed by it. It runs a lot better as train. Edited October 25, 2018 by dutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be the icing on the cake...... tens millions over budget and can’t even launch on time. And yet it did happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charters Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 On the day that the Sheffield Tram Train goes live, I happen to find that someone has written a Charters and Caldicott style blog about it - and it wasn't me. http://publictransportexperience.blogspot.com/2017/04/charters-and-caldicott-discuss-tram_16.html http://www.chartersandcaldicott.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeeeeeeeeek Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 75million quid later and it is finally running. Was it ever really needed though? is there a demand for a link between Sheffield and Rotherham / Parkgate ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
