From Monday 30 March until autumn, a revised timetable will be introduced across the tram network.
There will still be reliable and frequent tram services running every 15 minutes, supported by a peak service running every 7.5 minutes at the busiest times on the most popular lines.
This is to allow significant work to take place to build the capacity and resilience of the tracks, trams and workforce.
Read more about the works taking place.
The operating hours below are a general guide only. Use the first and last tram times tool to find the exact time of your journey. For major events operating hours may be extended and frequencies increased.
Monday to Thursday
6am to midnight
Every 15 minutes
Friday and Saturday
