Ever fancied driving one of Sheffield's trams?

Well, now we can offer you the next best thing - a chance to travel in the driver's cab as Supertram makes its way from Meadowhall to Middlewood.

Keeping an eye out for problems

The all-important speed control

Along the way, you'll be able to spot some of Sheffield's most famous landmarks.

Look out for the Cathedral and (especially if you're an ex-pat) the former "Hole In The Road" at Castle Square: this was filled in and remodelled in 1995 to make way for the tramline.

You have two journey options to choose from:

The high-speed option. Forget 'London to Brighton in Four Minutes' - we can take you from Meadowhall to Middlewood in just under three! Hold tight...

The leisurely option - sit back and enjoy the city centre journey at normal speed. Watch carefully, and you might even learn a thing or two about driving trams...
