Essential tram maintenance work planned this August.

Essential tram network maintenance will be taking place for four nights next month, Nottingham Express Transit (NET) has revealed.

Taking place from 4 August to 7 August, there will be no trams between Wilkinson Street and The Forest each evening from 10:00pm until the end of service at midnight. Service will resume from 8 August, when the work is expected to be completed.

To minimise disruption, a replacement bus service will be operating between The Forest Park & Ride site, and Wilkinson Street Park and Ride site. Customers are being encouraged to allow extra time and check affected routes before travelling.

Trevor Stocker, head of operations and safety at NET, said: “These essential improvements are necessary to ensure our network can remain safe and reliable for our customers. By undertaking this work during the night, we are hoping to reduce the impact on customers. For anyone who regularly relies on travelling via any of our tram stops that will be closed during this time, we encourage them to visit the dedicated maintenance page on our website, or contact us through our online customer service portal if they have any questions.

“We thank all our customers for their patience and co-operation during this time.”
