The classic tramway routes (Blue, Yellow and Purple) have timetable changes from 28 November. There are no changes to Tram Train.
The changes see an improvement to the frequency of the Blue route Monday to Saturday daytime but they also see reductions in frequency at less busy times/places due to staff shortages
Yellow route - Meadowhall-Sheffield Centre-Middlewood:
The daytime service continues to run every 12 minutes Mon-Sat and every 20 minutes Sunday, however at what used to be rush hour the service will no longer increase to every 10 minutes. The evening service is reduced to every 30 minutes although on much of the route there are additional services provided by the Blue or Tram Train route (between Sheffield City Centre and Hillsborough the times of the Blue and Yellow route are coordinated).
Blue route - Halfway-Sheffield Centre-Malin Bridge:
The Mon-Sat daytime service is improved to run every 12 minutes (currently every 15 minutes) and the Sunday daytime service remains every 20 minutes. The evening service is reduced to every 30 minutes although on part of the route additional services are provided by the Yellow or Purple route (between Sheffield City Centre and Hillsborough the times of the Blue and Yellow route are coordinated).
Purple route - Herdings Park-Sheffield Centre:
The earliest tram on weekdays from Herdings is extended to Malin Bridge as a Blue route service. The rest of the service Monday to Saturday is reduced to hourly. On Sundays the daytime service remains every 30 minutes but the evening service is reduced to hourly.
Tram Train - Parkgate-Rotherham Central-Sheffield
No changes. Service runs about every 30 minutes all day every day. Runs until midnight Mon-Sat and until 2100 Sunday, the evening service is now better than it was pre-covid!
