The Anonymous Widower

A Tailpiece On The Sheffield To Rotherham Parkgate Tram-Train

I took this picture at the Rotherham Parkgate tram stop.

Note.

1. The level step-free access between the Class 399 tram-train and the platform.
2. The platform laid-out to help passengers and meet all regulations.
3. The 25 KVAC overhead electrification.
4. The track continuing into a siding, which could be turned into a loop to extend the service to Doncaster.
5. The well-placed safety fences.

It certainly appears that Network Rail have produced a professional design that works well and makes things easy for passengers.
