[[High Speed 2]] had been planned to serve a city centre station in Sheffield as a spur from the main eastern HS2 line. It was scheduled to be operational by 2033, with four trains an hour, reducing journey times to London and Birmingham to 1 hour 19 minutes and 48 minutes, respectively.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-41277560 |title=HS2 'may disrupt city travel for years' |date=15 September 2017 |access-date=20 December 2017 |work=BBC News |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171130195338/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-41277560 |archive-date=30 November 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref> In November 2021, the UK government published the ''Integrated Rail Plan for the North and Midlands'' which announced HS2's eastern spur route (between the East Midlands and Leeds, including Sheffield) had been cancelled. The document announced upgrades to the Midland Mainline, with HS2 trains able to run on this upgraded and electrified route.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1034576/integrated-rail-plan-for-the-north-and-midlands-web-version.pdf |title=Integrated Rail Plan for the North and Midlands |date=November 2021 |work=Department for Transport |access-date=22 November 2021 |archive-date=20 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211120010733/https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1034576/integrated-rail-plan-for-the-north-and-midlands-web-version.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>

The Supertram network consists of {{cvt|37|mi}} of track and four lines (with all lines running via the city centre): from Halfway to [[Malin Bridge]] (Blue Line), from Meadowhall to [[Middlewood, South Yorkshire|Middlewood]] (Yellow Line), from Cathedral to [[Herdings Park]] (Purple Line),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.supertram.net/about.html |title=About Us |work=Stagecoach Supertram website |publisher=Stagecoach Group |access-date=19 July 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090704091815/http://www.supertram.net/about.html |archive-date=4 July 2009}}</ref> and the from [[Sheffield Cathedral|Cathedral]] to [[Rotherham Parkgate tram stop|Rotherham Parkgate]] (Black Line). The system contains both on-street and segregated running, depending upon the section and line.
