Nottingham Express Transit are running their full timetable for the first time since December after the driver shortages they have been suffering started to improve. The full Monday to Saturday service was reintroduced from Monday 24th January 2022 which sees trams running between 7 and 10 minutes on each line at peak times giving the central section trams every 3-5 minutes.
The Sunday timetable – with later finish times Monday to Saturday for the past week – had bee introduced shortly after Christmas to better manage resources but after a reduction in staff have to isolate it is now back to normal.

0700 to 2100 – Every 7-10 minutes on all lines (every 3-5 on the section between David Lane and the City Centre)
2100 to 0000 – Every 15 minutes on all lines (every 7-8 on the section between David Lane and the City Centre)
Sunday
0600 to 0900 – Every 15 minutes on all lines (every 7-8 on the section between David Lane and the City Centre)
0900 to 1900 – Every 10 minutes on all lines (every 5 on the section between David Lane and the City Centre)
1900 to 2300 – Every 15 minutes on all lines (every 7-8 on the section between David Lane and the City Centre)
Steve Leyland, Head of Customer Experience at NET, said: “Like many other transport operators, the latest wave of the pandemic had an impact on employee availability but as the situation continues to ease, we are pleased to be able to resume a full service. As an increasing number of people return to workplaces in the city with the lifting of remaining Covid restrictions, we’re looking forward to welcoming even more customers back to the network. We would also like to thank them for their patience and understanding over the past few weeks and apologise for any inconvenience during what has proved to be a difficult time for many transport operators and other businesses.”
