Tram passengers in Nottingham have been advised to allow extra time for their journeys as a section of the tram network will be closed for essential maintenance on Sunday, January 26th. No trams will operate between Wilkinson Street and The Forest. A replacement bus service will be available to take passengers along the affected route, running every 10 minutes. The bus will also pick passengers up at bus stops located on Radford Road, close to the Radford Road and Hyson Green tram stops.
Regular tram services are expected to resume at 6am on Monday, January 27th. 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 26th 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.' This announcement comes shortly after a recent price increase on NET tickets, which came into force on January 6th. The operator said the increase is 'in line with inflation and the growing cost demands of running the network.
