Hi all,
I'm going to Sheffield soon, and I fancy a ride on the Supertram. I was looking at the ticketing options, and they seem to confuse me. From what I've heard there are no ticket machines, but instead staff on board every tram to buy tickets from. I wanted to get a few trips in, notably on the Tram Train, however I cant seem to figure out what ticket to buy.
A return ticket is stated, however does this allow you to change tram? For example, if I was to buy a ticket from Sheffield Station to Tinsley, would the inspector mark my ticket on the first tram, and then when I board the tram train its not allowed? A day ticket is considerably more expensive, double the price of a NET day ticket.
The other thing i'm wondering about is student tickets. I am 17 years old, and have a student pass that allows me to get student discounts anywhere but I cant work out what ticket to buy, because some tickets state its for people living in sheffield, some don't. Do I qualify for a young persons ticket because I'm under 18, can i show a pass e.g. an oyster proving im under 18? Its been puzzling me and I'm eager to find out what to get!
