Woodburn Junction
Woodburn Junction on the old Great Central Railway as seen from a footbridge. This was once a busy junction with coal trains coming out of the South Yorkshire Coalfields from the marshalling yard at Wath, in the direction straight ahead. The line off to the right lead to the marshalling yard at Tinsley. An unusual feature of the 1 to 50000 Ordnance Survey map is the incorrect positioning of the footbridge relative to the track junction. As can be seen from the picture, the junction is to the West of the footbridge, not the other way round. The 1 to 25000 Explorer map is more accurate though.

Supertram travelling parallel to Woodbourn Road, Sheffield 9
Following a parliamentary act in 1985 authorising the scheme, the Sheffield Supertram system was built by South Yorkshire Transport Executive at a cost of £240 million and opened in stages between 1994 and 1995. It was initially operated by South Yorkshire Supertram Ltd (SYSL), a wholly owned subsidiary company of SYPTE. After lower than expected passenger revenue, SYSL was sold to Stagecoach for £1.15 million at the end of 1997. With the sale of SYSL, Stagecoach gained the concession to maintain and operate the Supertram trams until 2024.
Launched in an initial light grey livery, following the takeover by Stagecoach the trams wore the Stagecoach corporate livery from 1997. From 2006 the trams were refurbished, and a new dedicated Supertram blue based livery was launched, rolled out by 2008.
