mrmw Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 So... a bit of snow last night & yet again our Supertram system lets the public down. Can’t be much of that axe left that you’re constantly grinding now eh. I can understand the delays caused by the First Bus which became stuck on Park Grange Rd, however the rest of today's issues are depressingly familiar - Failure of the points at Gleadless Townend (again) leading to temporary suspension of the service to Herdings Park - this seems to have happened every time it's snowed this winter. How many points have failed on national rail network today? Flooding at Spring Lane (again) causing delays. Another regular issue which hasn't been resolved. Flooding is the trams fault how? Inevitably, another tram failure - this time at Tinsley, leading to temporary suspension of the service through to Meadowhall. How many buses and cars broke down today? Hardly a shining advertisement for public transport! How’s about you write a factual post showing accurate comparisons of how many buses and regional trains were cancelled, broke down or late You might have a shred of credibility then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wont get resolved till they clear out a blocked drain on the roadside going into the City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fill Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Whilst I could feel sorry for some people having to wait minutes extra for a tram, I don't. Try comparing it to the bus services which regularly run late and often omit to run some buses on some routes. I do though feel genuine sympathy for those people in Doncaster Barnsley and Rotherham who through their poll tax were given no choice in their own councils' decisions to contribute towards the Super tram network. I'm not certain but I think they and the people of Sheffield are still paying for the tram. Only in their cases how many years have they been waiting for their first Trams?

Nobody I know in Rotherham wants the tram here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 It wont get resolved till they clear out a blocked drain on the roadside going into the City. how long before Amey get round to it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apelike Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) how long before Amey get round to it ? Probably as long again as it has been blocked so far, and that around 2 years.. Actually I apologise for that wrong information above. The drain is not blocked but it is in the wrong place above the dip in the road and not in it so when that bit floods it will not drain away very quickly.

alexander874 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Nobody I know in Rotherham wants the tram here anyway. The friends I know in Rotherham cant wait for the tram to start they are totally fed up with the unreliability of the X1 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
