	Railway Technology - Sheffield Supertram
		Sheffield in South Yorkshire is part of one of the UK’s largest conurbations.
		The Supertram project in part owes its origins to the transport responsibility held by the short-lived (1974–1986) South Yorkshire County Council through its component body, the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE).
		Supertram was initially run by SYPTE through its South Yorkshire Supertram arm, but this was sold to transport specialist Stagecoach in 1997.

		EXTENSIONS to Sheffield's Supertram system could be back on track, according to the boss of its parent company Stagecoach.
		Hopes of extending Supertram were dashed earlier this year when the Department of Transport ruled out paying for extensions, claiming they did not represent value for money for taxpayers.
		Another option being investigated is dedicated pathways for buses, which are already used in Leeds, to allow vehicles to drive unimpeded through traffic, or a "tram on wheels" which is already in operation in Caen in France.
