I travel on that section regularly and it is a bit bouncy... probably made to look all the worse by the camera. Its been that way for years.

That section, and indeed the rest of the reserved track is not likely to be replaced until it is 20-25 years old.
The next work will more likely be on-street track where flange wear occurs, a few possibilities could be Beighton curve, Manor Top curve, Middlewood terminus (curve, points, diamond crossing).

Has track replacement occurred along the Don Valley section between Attercliffe and Meadowhall? Seem to call some work of some description happening in that area a number of years ago. Of course, it may not have been such heavy maintenance as complete track replacement.

I thought the delta section also had more balast added aswell as replacing the track as it had sunk slightly? maybe thats happening here too? Its not just the camera as you can see it with the naked eye too
Reason for Editing: Spelling!

Of course, it may not have been such heavy maintenance as complete track replacement. There is a short section between Arena and Carbrook which has a 30mph TSR in place due to the trackbed shifting. Attempts have been made in the past to remedy the situation.

I have been told by a passenger today that the Curve at Spring Lane to town, between the Tram Stop and Bus Stop will be replaced over 2 weekends the first 2 weeks in August. I didnt notice if there has been any markings on the road. Was the passenger anyone on here?

Yep, the next one is from 18:30 on 13th August and allday on 14th August and from 18:30 on 20th August and allday 21st August at Spring Lane. There will be usual Replacement buses between Fitzalan Square and Gleadless Town End and Gleadless Town End and Herdings Park. I noticed a timetable on Malin Bridge tram stop this afternoon.
For future information I think White Lane is inbound (to town) and is across the junction of Ridgeway Road/Norton Avenue-i think outside Dexters Carpets, just before the holding area.
