Additional maintenance work:

While tram services are suspended, additional essential maintenance will take place, including:

• Highway repairs and resurfacing at Tamworth Road and Church Street.
• Paving and drainage improvements at Church Street, Station Road, and Wellesley Road.
• Platform works at Centrale, George Street, and Church Street tram stops.
• General maintenance across the town centre.
• Localised rail replacement by Centrale tram stop.
• Rail repairs near Tamworth Road.

Completing these essential works simultaneously aims to reduce future service disruptions.

Planning ahead:

For up-to-date travel information, passengers are advised to check notices at local tram stops or visit the TfL website. The TfL Hopper fare remains in place, allowing unlimited bus and tram journeys within an hour for just £1.75.

Despite the temporary changes, tram services across the rest of the network will continue to operate as normal, and all roads in the area will remain open to traffic.
