To be fair some have only just been decided, such as the new Dearne Valley Bus & Tram ticket that will be valid in the Dearne Valley MegaRider area and then on the tram as far as Tinsley/Meadowhall South. As for the launch date, this will indeed be Thursday 25th. It will be a soft public launch and there will be photo/camera crews on hand - this is the reason Thursday was chosen as it was the day available to all these. Works are almost complete now at both Parkgate and Rotherham Central, with just a few minor touches left to complete. Has access to the station at Parkgate been sorted as until very recently the station is in an area that gets locked and has no access at times. Also the issue of parking as parkgate do not want to become a park and ride site and have stated what actions they will take should that happen. Access will be on the walkway at side of Boots and the gates to the loading bays will not be closing until after the last Tram-Train service has departed (2231 M-SA and 1831 SU). Park & Ride will *allegedly* be at Morrisons car park and has been allocated 50 spaces... Yes not ideal and I believe SYPTE are still in discussions with Parkgate Shopping/British Land. |

Although of course the service won't track on train websites until it gets onto the National Rail network just before Rotherham - Realtimetrains will show all the tram stops as 'no report' as there's no way for it to interpret the tram running data. |

Quick note regarding 399204 - it is currently awaiting assessment from Stadler who are sending a crew over from Spain. However, considering the ensure frame has been twisted/bent and the force of the impact that has rippled down all 3 cars of the unit, including breaking the floor - it's highly likely that the entire unit will be a write off and used to donate parts to the other 6 Stadler units.
399206 is currently been fitted with S1 wheel profiles to allow use on NR, and this must be done by end of play Thursday to meet NR rules and regulations. You may see it out on test runs over the next few nights if you're lucky!

Lorry driver's insurance should be buying them a new 399, IMO, assuming it's a write-off/unrepairable.
