Dear Alexis, Steve and Tim

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited and South Yorkshire Supertram
Limited to South Yorkshire Future Trams Limited

accordance with the Railways Act 1993 (the Act).
The parties submitted the Deed of Novation on 11 March 2024 and a further Deed of
Variation on 12 March 2024. The Deed of Variation was necessary to ensure that the
outcome of the Periodic Review 2023 will apply to South Yorkshire Future Trams Limited

We expect the parties to execute the Deed of Variation by 22 March 2024. A copy of the
directions and the signed Deed will be placed on our public register, copies of this letter,
the directions and the Deed will also be placed on the ORR website.
Once the Deed is signed, in accordance with section 72(5) of the Act, you must send a
copy to the ORR within 14 days.
Yours sincerely
