Transport for London (TfL) has announced that it intends to take

It'll be interesting to see how TfL decide to run the Tramlink
operation. I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that they plan on
having a company come in and operate it as a concession, ala Serco
Docklands with the DLR and LOROL with the London Overground network.

Interesting coincidence that this comes at the same time as the DfT
announcement of a 'Tram-train' trial near Sheffield, involving the Northern
rail franchise partly because its franchisee 'Serco/Nedrail' includes an
experienced European Tram operator...
