beggining or end?

            Sheffield Suprtram 201 on the new 'tram train' route to Rotherham Parkgate next to 123 on the blue route to Malin Bridge.
Tram Train started service earlier in November having been at least three years in the preparation.
The trams have been around for two to three years and from spring 2018 have been used on the existing blue and yellow routes.
Tram Train was three years late and massively over-budget funded mainly by the government as tan experimental setup to try out the train train concept where the trams run on the streets of Sheffield and on 'in-use' rail tracks.
It's ironic that with Train Train finally running, SYPTE, the owners of Supertram, and operator Stagecoach, are looking for £230 million to replace existing trams and upgrade ageing  infrastructure that is now 23 years old!
It has been suggested that if funding cannot be found the Supertram system will need to be decommissioned, tram tracks dug up and routes revert to diesel buses.
What a stupid, stupid idea. although with a conservative government that doesn't know what it's doing anything is possible (I'm being polite here)!
