New overhead power lines have been installed at Rotherham Central station and along tracks to Parkgate and Tinsley in Sheffield for the Tram Trains project.

Community Safety Manager at Network Rail, Vicki Beadle, has been visiting local schools to deliver a warning that the electrified lines can be very dangerous.

"Many people – and not just children – think the overhead line only carries electricity when trains or Tram Trains are coming through," she says.

"That’s simply not true. The wires are electrified all the time and these ones carry 750 volts. So we are making our message clear – the electricity is always on, so stay off the tracks.

The project is now in its final stages of construction, including building new low-level platforms at Rotherham Central.
