The Forest Track Replacement

18th-31st of August

From the 18th-31st of August 2023, we will be carrying out track replacement works at the Forest tram stop. The work is required to replace tracks which have been in place since 2004 as part of planned infrastructure renewals that are vital for the safety and reliability of future tram services. 

During this time, we will have no tram services between Wilkinson Street and Old Market Square. A dedicated bus replacement service will be operating between these stops. Tram services will resume as normal from the 1st of September.
