Picture of the Day
The seven Vossloh-built Class 399 "CityLink" 'TramTrains' for operation of the Sheffield Super Tram system and the new tram train line between Sheffield and Rotherham are now under test on the Super Tram network in Sheffield. The sets are designed for dual voltage operation - 750V dc overhead, and at 25kV ac overhead, but at this stage the route to Rotherham will be electrified 750V dc overhead, as the remainder of the Sheffield tram system. The '399s' have been buit to higher crashworthiness standard, as they will be operating over 'heavy-rail' between a point close to Meadowhall and Rotherham. The new sets will also be used to strengthen Super Tram services. When finished in 2018, the Rotherham service is envisaged to operate every 20 minutes between the Sheffield Cathedral stop and Parkgate Retail Park, Rotherham. On 16 August 2017, set No. 399202 is seen takeing the Meadowhall line at the triangular junction close to Sheffield station with a run from Halfway to Nunnery depot.
