There will be more frequent services in the evening on Nottingham Express Transit for a trial one-month period. Originally put in place during the recent Goose Fair the same enhanced evening service will continue for a month from Monday 6th October following customer feedback.
This enhanced service will mean that trams on both routes will run every eight minutes until 2300, with the common section between Highbury Vale and Nottingham Station seeing a tram every four minutes in each direction. The previous evening service saw trams every 15 minutes on each on the two routes (7.5 minutes in the common section).
Trevor Stocker, Head of Operations and Safety at NET, said: “Our goal is to continuously improve our network to help the people of Nottingham get around the city safely and efficiently. To do that, we always listen to our customers and take their feedback on board. This trial timetable is the perfect example of that in action and will allow people to continue to rely on using the tram to get home, even if they’re making later journeys.
“Enhancing our evening timetable with more frequent services has proven to be effective and popular with tram users, both during last year’s festive period and during this year’s Goose Fair. Now, we’re really pleased to be introducing this trial period to see how it fits into people’s lives, beyond servicing a temporary busy event. Throughout this trial, we want to encourage all customers to share their thoughts by emailing our customer service team or contacting us through our social channels, which will help us shape future measures that truly reflect our customers’ needs.”
The Forest Park and Ride site will remain closed for a few more days but is set to reopen to cars again from 0900 on Wednesday 8th October 2025.
