Track Replacement on the following dates:- 13/14 August, 21 August and 28/29 August. I think these are Spring Lane and Gleadless Town-End

Are both taking place on the same dates by any chance?

[swfcforever]

13/14 and 21 August are Spring Lane. 28/29 August are Town-End. Spring Lane was closed into City tonight so Track Preparation for this weekend can take place.

[swfcforever]

Spring Lane at junction of City Road closed tonight due to Preperation work for these Trackworks.

SYPTE have now provided some details on their website which are available to view here: www.travelsouthyorkshire.com/disruptions.aspx?id=2535

There will be some disruption to the Supertram network on Saturday 13 & Sunday 14 August and Saturday 20 & Sunday 21 August 2011.

This is due to engineering work taking place to replace track in the Spring Lane area.

The following service revisions will take place from 1830 on Saturday and all day Sunday on both weekends:

Buses will replace trams between Fitzalan Square and Gleadless Townend

Buses will replace trams between Gleadless Townend and HerdingsPark

Blue Trams from MalinBridge will terminate at Sheffield Railway Station

Blue Trams from Halfway will terminate at Gleadless Townend

Purple trams from Meadowhall will terminate at Cathedral

Yellow trams between Meadowhall and Middlewood will operate as normal

Services will operate every 20 minutes as is normal on evenings and Sundays with some extra replacement buses laid on at busy times. Due to the road closure, replacement buses will not serve Spring Lane tram stop. For some passengers alternative bus services which run along City Road may be more convenient than the tram replacement service i.e. service 120.

The revised timetable has been posted on tram stop information boards. There is no impact on local bus services.

For details of the replacement bus service please visit the Supertram website: www.stagecoachsupertram.co.uk and follow the links.

Saturday, Trams 105, 118 and 123 were on Halfway to Gleadless Town-End, so will be same on Sunday-stabled overnight at Gleadless Town-End.

I saw Trams 119 and 120 on Malin Bridge-Sheffield Station, obviously more.

I only saw buses 15710, 15715 and 22441 on Rail Replacement. 22441 was spare, came up to Gleadless Town-End at 22:00. Obviously more buses on Rail Replacement. 15710 was the last bus from Fitzalan square to Gleadless Town-End and 118 was last Tram Gleadless Town-End to Halfway to Gleadless Town-End.

[swfcforever]

Sunday, Trams 105, 118 and 123 were on Halfway to Gleadless Town-End, all came back to depot this evening.

I saw buses 15710, 15712, 15715, 15717, 15719 and 15720 on Blue Route Tram Replacement. A Pointer Dart was up Gleadless area at 22:39, I think this might have come off the Herdings Route.

I notice the buses now show Tram Replacement on the top line and Blue Route on the bottom line.

The Inbound work (to town) was finished around 22:30, the last 3 trams from Halfway were run through to Cathedral IN Service, when we went past at 00:02 the road was closed, but we ran through, with a speed restriction.

Next Weekend its the Outbound track (out of town) will be replaced at Spring Lane.

Remember the same will be happening this weekend-from 18:30 20th and allday 21st August.

Bear in mind, the buses towards Gleadless Town-End stop at Stand E2 at Manor Top Interchange, not in the tram stop, like at Manor Top towards Sheffield.

From looking at the very complex timetable, am I right in thinking the Herdings Shuttle bus then works onto the Blue Line replacement service at Gleadless Townend? The timetable on the Stagecoach Supertram website, or the Travel South Yorkshire website doesn't make this clear. The timetable is also quite complex and took some reading to get the hang of it, look at the state of how the trip from Herdings Park on Saturday evenings come into Gleadless Townend. Makes it look like you can only get as far as Gleadless Townend from Herings Park.

47467 was in town running out of service on Sunday afternoon, could have been working the Herdings Shuttle service?

Herdings Shuttle is Herdings to Town-End only, change buses at Gleadless Town-End.

Good to see they were making use of the Enviro400s this time around, rather than expecting people to fit in one of those 38-seater ADL Darts.

[swfcforever]

Anybody noticed what buses are being used this weekend, has I am not at work.
