NET delays after stolen car abandoned on tram tracks

A stolen car was abandoned on the tram tracks at David Lane in Basford on Wednesday 23rd January causing delays to the tram service for an hour and a half. All tram services were suspended between Wilkinson Street and Bulwell with a replacement bus service put into service whilst there was a reduced service from Wilkinson Street to Station Street and Bulwell to Hucknall. It is believed that the man in the stolen car abandoned the vehicle after he saw a Police Car – he was not found having fled from the scene. The tramway was closed between 1745 and 1915 whilst Police investigations were undertaken and the car was removed from the tracks.
