The UKs first-ever tram-train has been formally unveiled in Sheffield by Transport Minister Andrew Jones. It is the first of seven tram-trains being built by Spanish manufacturer Vossloh for the Sheffield Supertram system. Static testing has already started at Stagecoachs Nunnery Depot. By next summer, the operator hopes to have received three of the vehicles from Spain, with regular passenger services slated for early 2017. [From Mark Bartlett]
