One-day essential tram repair works planned this month.

Nottingham Express Transit (NET) will not be running any services between Wilkinson Street and The Forest throughout Sunday 26^th January, to allow for essential repair work to take place.

To minimise disruption, a replacement bus - which will run every ten minutes - will be in operation throughout the day between Wilkinson Street and The Forest. This will also pick up passengers at bus stops located on Radford Road, close to the Radford Road and Hyson Green tram stops.

Tram users are advised to check affected routes before travelling, and to allow for extra time when planning their journey, with regular tram service set to resume at 6.00am on Monday 27^th January.

Trevor Stocker, head of operations at NET, said: “We’re always committed to ensuring our tracks remain in optimum condition to ensure the smooth operation of our network, as well as optimal safety and reliability for our tram users. The upcoming track works are a key part of that. Some of our tram tracks have been in operation for over twenty years, which can naturally mean wear and tear can occur. As such, essential works such as the ones taking place on 26^th January, are vital for the ongoing maintenance of the network.

“As with all our maintenance work, we always aim to keep disruption levels to a minimum, but we understand the inconvenience these works will cause tram users, and thank them for their patience. However, we’re pleased to be able to offer a replacement bus service, and we’re advising all tram users to allow additional time for their journeys.”
