There will be engineering works taking place on the Nottingham Express Transit network impacting services from 1600 on Sunday 17th November 2024.
The work will see repairs undertaken on the overhead line in the Beeston area and will mean that from 1600 on Sunday 17th November 2024 the following changes will be made to the service:
- No trams from University of Nottingham to Cator Lane
- A replacement bus service will run between University of Nottingham and Cator Lane – it will not serve any intermediate stops due to road closures. It will run every 10 minutes 1600-2000 and then every 15 minutes until the end of service.
The work is due to be finished in time for normal services to resume at the start of service on Monday 18th November.
Trevor Stocker, Head of Operations at NET, said: “This short, planned maintenance work is a response to an incident that happened last year, causing the contact wire to be damaged and disconnected from the overhead line on part of our network. Now that the wire has been re-installed, our engineers must complete the final part of the work which is taking place this November.
“As well as our ongoing maintenance work, this type of direct repair is crucial for ensuring the optimal safety and reliability for our tram users, and we thank the public for their patience.
“As well as temporarily closing down part of our tram network for one evening, some surrounding roads could be affected by closures, particularly around Beeston Interchange. We advise anyone planning to travel by tram or car, to plan ahead. Allow additional time for journeys and become familiar with our replacement bus service. Normal tram service is set to resume from 6.00am on Monday 18 November, ready for the working week to restart.”
