Subsidiary routes
These are off-peak and special event services that run along part of a major route. Recently these routes, known as phantom routes because they did not appear on timetables or maps, have disappeared and are now indicated by an "a" after the main route number to indicate that the service is altered, or a "d" to indicate a service is going only to the tram's depot.
