Of the approximately 28km total length, 17km is on converted Railtrack or abandoned BR alignment, 3km is street running, and 8km is on new alignments, mostly beside roads. Slab track rather than conventional ballasted track is used from 18.0736 to 21.0567 and from 28.2623 to 28.3403. Being a tram system, signals are only used to guard junctions, road crossings, and single line and interlaced sections. The remainder are sprung and drivers carry levers to operate them in emergencies. Depots Therapia Lane depot is on the south side of the track west of Therapia Lane station, with access from both ends.
