Futuristic sounds haha :)

The new stock is a lot more modern so it sounds a lot more "futuristic" to people who aren't used to it

Nice video matt 1. What is the difference between tram trains and a conventional tram? Is it because normal trams have to use there own track whilst tram trains can use normal train tracks? 2. Are all the lines in stagecoach super tram like this or only one line 3. I get that the ticket inspector /conductor walking up and down can be quite annoying if you are filming but I guess it's to prevent fare evasion and also for safety because I guess the driver cab is isolated from the rest of the tram but they do à better job than down here because on the DLR metro they do have a member of staff on each train but only for controls and there is alot of fare evasion because most of the stations are understaffed and don't have proper gate barriers like the underground system and the Croydon trams too

Thanks Daniel! 1. Tram trains run on the National Rail lines, which are a different size gauge to the normal tram lines. You can hear at 3:30 where it changes gauge from the National Rail lines to the tram lines. 2. This is currently the only TramTrain line, the other 3 lines are just conventional tram lines. 3. The fact the conductors walk up and down is because they have to sell/issue tickets as well as check them, because they don't have machines at the stops in Sheffield. So, as much as it's a bit awkward when they walk along the tram, the trams wouldn't earn any money if they didn't exist ;)

@@MTVvids very true and thank you for the train tram explanation and everything else

[@bigbazzaRUFC]

@MTVvids there were ticket machines on its opening in 1994, but they were removed due to vandalism

[@MTVvids]

[@bigbazzaRUFC]

When was this filmed? Great quality footage of the great quality Tram-trains by the way. Hopefully the route will be extended soon!

[@MTVvids]

Thanks a lot, it was filmed in September 2019 :)

Do the guards do the doors or just tickets ?

[@MTVvids]

Just the tickets, the driver operates the door controls 👍

@@MTVvids where having tram trains in Wales to replace the Pacers and sprinters but obviously we have guard operated train's so I was just wondering what they did on them as I've never seen any on the Manchester ones
