Please note that extensive work is planned covering a stretch of about 2 miles of the B488 Icknield Way, Tring starting on 31st October, 2016. The length affected will stretch from the A41 Tring Bypass roundabout down to the New Mill roundabout. The work will be done in stages but it is likely there will be considerable disruption at times.
Government approval for a new 400 metre length of track in Tinsley, Sheffield, means that work can now go ahead to complete UK's first tram-train project.

Pothole repair consists of temporary filling in with soft material - a "quick fix" if you like - though the contractors are not always quick to get there! In addition these temporay patches oftren have to be done again 2 or three times.
