Most of the "old" tram lines and cobbles are still there, although now buried by oversurfacing. This used to cause no end of problems fot the utilities when they had to do excavations to access pipes etc that laid under the old tram tracks. At least with the new "Supertram" system all the services are outwith the swept track of the trams on the on-street running sections. It was a lot of work during the construction phase but worth it in the end. In the places where the new trams run where the old ones were then everything has been removed, but places like the Moor, London Rd and Ecclesall Rd they are still there.
