Sheffield Supertram 2

Independent Transport Videos welcome you to this second programme featuring the Sheffield Supertram system. This time we major on the recently introduced Tram-Train route that runs from the Cathedral stop in Sheffield city centre to Rotherham Parkgate. On this route the Tram-Trains run along the existing tramway lines to the Tinsley- Meadowhall South stop and then join the National Rail line for their journey to Rotherham Parkgate, calling at Rotherham Central railway station. A fleet of seven German built Vossloh AG Citylink articulated sets are used. Known as TOPS Class 399, these Tram-Trains are painted in the Supertram blue livery and are numbered 399 201 to 399 207. Units 399 201– 399 204 are only able to run on the Network Rail line, whereas 399 205– 399 207 can be used anywhere on the tram system. The DVD tries to ensure you see the full picture of the Sheffield tramway. Locations featured: High Street, Castle Square, Fitzalan Square/Ponds Forge, Cathedral and Park Square.
