Plans
Proposals were made to extend the network to Rotherham, Dore, Fulwood and Hellaby. However, a reduced scheme with extensions to Rotherham and Broomhill failed to gain government funding in 2004.
A tram-train pilot project will connect Supertram to Rotherham from 2015 using an existing heavy rail line which will be electrified.
