Tram services suspended due to 'extreme heat'

Tram services in Sheffield have been suspended due to the "extreme" hot weather conditions.

Supertram services on all lines were halted at 13:30 BST "until further notice".

It comes as parts of South Yorkshire sit under an amber heat health alert, and after the record for the hottest June day was broken for a third consecutive day, with 36.9C recorded in Wattisham, Suffolk.

Supertram said First and Stagecoach buses along the network would be accepting tram tickets, but has advised passengers not to travel.

The amber heat warning covers much of England, with a red warning in place across parts of London and the South East.
