Carriage of Dogs

Supertram welcome assistance dogs on all our services, without restriction but ask that dogs do not sit on the seats. Other small dogs (and other small animals) can only be carried when they are in a suitable secure pet container. Larger dogs (or other animals) that aren't able to be carried in a suitable secure pet container are not permitted. This approach is consistent with most UK tramways.

Trams can become very busy, with standing room only. The seating on trams, which is predominantly facing other passengers without underseat space, does not readily accommodate dogs. Because dogs could only usually be accommodated in the aisles and around the doors, this could result in injury to the dog or other passengers who may inadvertently step on or stumble over them.
