Ever wanted to name a tram? Well now is your chance! Nottingham Express Transit are inviting members of the public to send in their nominations for the new Citadis trams and they will then make the decision as to which names will be assigned to the trams. It has become tradition in Nottingham for their trams to be named with all of the Incentros carrying names – 5 after local unsung heroes, 5 after local historical figures and 5 after living Nottinghamshire legends – whilst three of the Citadis’ have already been named.
NET have not given any deadlines regarding criteria for nominating your names but the procedure for doing so is very straight forward. All you have to do is visit http://www.thetram.net/name-a-tram, give your contact details and then enter your chosen tram name. It could be that there is an unsung hero in the local community who you feel deserves the honour or it could be someone a bit more high profile – but the decision is yours!
