Temporary Alterations to NET Services: 28th and 29th June 2008

Passengers travelling on NET on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th June are advised that tram services between The Forest and Station Street will be replaced by buses, whilst some finishing touches are made to the works near The Royal Centre tram stop. The works will see the temporary tarmac replaced with a high quality concrete finish which matches the rest of the NET route.

Trams will operate as normal from Hucknall and Phoenix Park towards the City Centre, but will terminate at The Forest Park and Ride Site, where replacement buses will operate for passengers to complete their journeys.

Levels of service will operate as follows:

• Saturday 28th June: Saturday tram timetable with replacement buses operating every 5 minutes at peak times (08:00 until 18:00) and every 10 minutes before 08:00 and after 18:00 until approx. Midnight.

• Sunday 29th June: Sunday tram timetable with replacement buses operating every 8 minutes at peak times (10:00 until 18:00) and every 15 minutes before 10:00 and after 18:00 until 23:00

The last replacement bus from Station Street will depart slightly earlier than the normal last tram. The last bus will be at 23:52 on Saturday (Midnight from Beastmarket Hill) and at 23:20 on Sunday. Passengers travelling to Bulwell and Hucknall are advised to catch the 23:42 replacement bus from Station Street on the Saturday, to make the connecting tram.
