Asked a conductor this morning if timetables are going to change soon as trams are getting a little busier with schools going back. Answer was no idea however he did say that trams would be closing for 2 days on the 4th/5th April with no trams running anywhere because of Rail Replacement in town centre. Wasn’t these only done 3/4 years ago? Where do they get these rails from a kids train set. Useless!!

No tram service on any route from 8pm Saturday 3 April until 5am Tuesday 6 April.

 

No replacement buses either, although tickets will be accepted on First and Stagecoach buses in the areas covered.

 

The works are taking place on Park Square roundabout.

There's still a fair amount of the rails that have never been replaced.

I've had to cancel my carer Easter weekend because of this, I would've cancelled for Easter weekend anyway, but this added to the urgency, the guy lives up at Westfield near Crystal Peaks, and if there's no Trams running through Town he can't get to me :(

 

Fortunately I emailed the interim care manager yesterday so he can't say he hasn't had the required 2 weeks notice.

Probably not, that would main extending the route from Middlewood Terminus and the natives would complain about the roadworks!

 

If you were commenting on my suggestion then the operation is simple (if planned in advance ) and was proven a couple of years ago when Stagecoach bus acted on my suggestion and did in fact run a through service for the benefit of their passengers.
