37212 37243 37535 37541 37542 37543 37544 are now all at Olive Grove from Glasgow - the former two are intended for Doncaster with the remainder due to remain at Olive Grove.
Just because they're listed on Bustimes does not mean that the move has actually, or will actually occur.
They are not yet at Olive Grove.
West Yorkshire's 63442 has, however, made an appearance this evening, despite having been on local work in Huddersfield throughout the day.
The YN08s are staying put in Glasgow. I understand the B9TLs we're receiving from them are "refurbished" in some way - the Northern Irish registration ones would seem to fit.
Four are dedicated for the tram-train service with the tram-train wheel profile. The remaining three are fitted with a conventional tram wheel profile and operate only on the conventional tramway.
I somehow doubt with all the issues presented by the Citylinks, that they'd like to go for a homogenous fleet of them anyway. Even five years on since all seven finally entered service, there's still constant reliability problems caused by them - and the fact that the tram-train service has to...
Sheffield is very much set up for longer journeys - a single from Halfway to Parkgate, the longest journey you'd be able to make (albeit on two separate services) is £2.80 - the same as a single from Halfway to the city centre...or even Halfway to Gleadless!
Looks to be, as said above, a half hourly Merseyrail service in through most of the day, Hooton/New Brighton/West Kirby to Liverpool loop, Ormskirk/Kirkby to Liverpool Central, Southport to Liverpool South Parkway. All running very much limited stop - the West Kirby services appear to even be...
I guess staffing problems may have also contributed to that decision - usually when there's diversions via Nunnery, some local Northern services will terminate/start at Meadowhall, using the loop at Brightside to reverse from P1 to P2, or reversing in P4 from Barnsley.
The issue which led to the entire site being closed was one of the prohibited areas was on the street outside the pub - this meant that the site would've effectively been limited to the area around Admissions, the Woodland Walk and Wakebridge - as it was a quicker fix, that was undertaken and...
No - it's a safe walking route for maintenance. The pedestrian route is along Cricket Inn Road, left at the roundabout onto Woodbourn Road, left on the depot drive access, and then along the trackside footpath to the tram stop.
As for why it's shown as a footpath on Google Maps...I'll need my...
West Street is indeed 20mph for trams - the same as all other road traffic since the speed limit on the road was reduced from 30mph.
Park Square to Granville Road iirc is mainly 30mph running, although the alternate direction drops to 20 after the station...
