Nottingham Express Transit (NET) - Bus service to replace trams during routine track maintenance

Temporary suspension of service due to industrial action

Due to industrial action by the GMB union, NET is unable to operate any late evening services on Friday, November 5 and throughout Saturday, November 6.

In response, a range of measures have been put in place by NET to help reduce inconvenience to customers. These include the acceptance of tram tickets on Trent Barton’s Rainbow One, Threes and Indigo buses as well as all NCT services.

The measures will be in place from 21.30pm on Friday as it will take some time for services to be wound down ahead of the start of industrial action at midnight. We would therefore urge customers to plan ahead and aim to complete their tram journey by 22.00.

We are sorry for the inconvenience for customers, and we will resume services from 06.00 on Sunday morning.

The complimentary shuttle bus for the Nottingham Forest match on Saturday will operate as normal from outside Nottingham Station before and after the game.
