Was there not supply problems somewhere and trams had to stop at Hillsborough ??

I presume you mean electricity supply, I understand tram 118 was stopped at Hillsborough (baths) on way to Malin Bridge as the Road was flooded it then proceeded to Middlewood after points had been cleared at Hillsborough Corner. Holme Lane qwas still flooded at this stage, 118 was then stopped on Middlewood Road by police s the road was blocked by a car stuck in flood water.

No one as mentioned supply problems

Ah that would be it then .

This is what P*sses me off , we have a tram network that can run in all weathers and yet we get overlooked when we want to exstend the tram into the suburbs as its a lot better than the buses

Remember that the tram would have been to stannington if it had not been for the NIMBY brigade !
