Magna (Sheffield Supertram)

Is Magna tram stop still something that is going to happen, or has it gone off the radar like the whole network and any improvements?

There was a meeting of SYMCA (South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority) on 1st June 2022 in which the proposed Magna tram stop was on the agenda. I think that the meeting decided to approach Network Rail with a proviso that the project had a budget ceiling cost of £651,780.

Has any subsequent meeting had any update on what then happened?

With respect to Travel South Yorkshire public engagement (e.g. the "Magna Park Tram-Train stop and Park & Ride consultation"), here is an email address provided here for contacting SYTPE, but I wouldn't know if or not this inbox is monitored.

Has it been delayed due to the imminent end of the Stagecoach contract and subsequent return to public ownership ?

The funding is coming from the DafTs Transforming cities fund so shouldn't be affected by the return to public?

It is still happening and it is a SYMCA led project although of course there is also Network Rail involved and Stagecoach Supertram as current operators are having some input. From what I gather there have been delays, at least some of which relate to the design and operation of the footbridge, last heard was work on ground should start soon with an opening next year.
