A replacement bus will run from Herdings Park to Fitzalan Square, serving all tram stops on the way and connecting with blue trams at Gleadless Townend and Fitzalan Square. Trams between Halfway and Gleadless Townend and the replacement bus route will operate every 15 minutes most of the day and every 20 minutes in the evening.

In a statement, operator Stagecoach Supertram advised people to allow up to 20 minutes extra time for their journeys.

Tram tickets will be valid on all Stagecoach services between Halfway and the City Centre, including 120.

Yellow route and tram-train services will operate as normal.
