Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 18/05/2023

The Class 398 Metro Vehicle is planned to be used on-street as part of the extension. The vehicle has been procured to be capable of on-street running without modification, and is currently used elsewhere in the UK on the Sheffield Super-Tram network as a tram-train.
