@22Rats @SCSupertram I’m currently stuck on a yellow tram to Meadowhall. It’s been stuck on west street for 1 hour and a half. Delays due to abandoned vehicles on tram tracks. It’s a nightmare

[Saima @saimathewriter]

@SCSupertram Currently on the yellow line to Meadowhall, I boarded at 12:35 at uni. Ots been nearly an hour, but we still haven’t reached the next stop which is West Street. I think this tram’s doors should be opened as there’s people on board who aren’t feeling well from having to stand up
