Buying your ticket
Purchasing a ticket couldn't be easier. All trams have conductors who sell most single, day and weekly tickets tickets. Please try to tender the correct fare and keep your ticket to hand. We can carry up to 250 passengers on a tram and it's not always easy for the conductor to remember who he or she has seen. We also have regular inspections by senior members of staff who may also ask to see your ticket.
