They are yes. However, I've recieved some information that Phoenix trams *may* be running to Beeston Centre/ University Boulevard. I'll keep my eye out, and update if I notice any special workings!

I do suspect there were a few running to Beeston as the stop departures boards were not displaying quite a few trams that arrived.

It seems Sherriffs Way has reopened this evening which is a decent turnaround. NCTs 48s were struggling with Queens Drive traffic. One bus left the City Centre at 1705 and as of 1832 it still hasn’t made it to Clifton! It also seems to have been overtaken by a bus that left an hour later that it and went via the normal Meadows route. I’m sure Clifton passengers are missing the tram more than usual!

They certainly had a few issues rerailing the tram, but its back at the depot now. As for the infrastructure, I'm told a temporary fix may be on the way shortly.

Have they got it open already? I’m seeing trams leaving the Market Square with Clifton South on the displays. Very impressive if so.

EDIT: Yes it is open with a 15mph TSR

Excellent news. I'm told a crane is being used as a traction pole temporarily, until a new one can be put in

Yes it’s a yellow truck-type crane

They just mentioned this on BBC East Midlands Today, and that's very impressive, I really thought the line would be closed for a week or two.
