Improvement and maintenance works
Rail grinding and overhead line inspections will help keep our trams running smoothly and safely.
- Rail grinding involves using a specialised machine to remove small quantities of metal from the rail surface.
- Overhead lines require regular inspections to help identify any potential safety hazards.
These activities can only be completed when there are no trams operating on the network.
