Another driver's eye (recorded on 21/05/2017) this time we travel on the Sheffield Supertrams from Halfway - Castle Square. This was tram 116 running a blue line route to Malin Bridge but we recorded as far as Castle Square.

I was a student at the University of Sheffield with two babies when the tram lines were first laid. It made a huge difference to the journey. I was up at 6am every day to give me time to go to nursery and get in for my 9am lectures. I might never have graduated without the tram.

Another excellent tram ride with a mixture of off-road and combined highway routes. Plus nicely filmed with informative station-stops info and passenger chatter. Loved the driver acknowledging his fellow drivers enroute - dosen't always happen on "other systems" I've travelled on!

I travelled from Halfway to Sheffield Midland railway station on Sunday September 6th 2009. I had walked with a group of people from Dronfield railway station to Eckington, followed by a walk to Renishaw Hall. The final leg of the walk was from Renishaw Hall to Halfway via the Trans-Pennine trail. The tram journey was a really enjoyable journey and one that I remembered for a long, long time, partly because of the downhill journey to the railway station. Thank you so much for showing this journey on KZfaq. It brought back some happy memories.
