Two days of tram disruption in May as NET completes ‘essential engineering’
Passengers are advised to check before they travel
Nottingham Express Transport (NET) is asking passengers to check before they travel on two dates in May due to “essential engineering and maintenance work”.
Taking place on Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19, the work includes improvements to the tracks and infrastructure at NET’s David Lane stop, and forms part of a range of ongoing upgrades to enhance safety and reliability across the whole network.
During the two days there will be no service between Phoenix Park and Wilkinson Street, as well as between Bulwell and Wilkinson Street.
A tram replacement bus service will run between Wilkinson Street, Phoenix Park and Bulwell Bus Station, also stopping near to Basford, David Lane, Highbury Vale and Cinderhill.
Normal tram services are set to resume on Monday, May 20.
Trevor Stocker, NET Head of Operations, said: “We’re committed to providing a safe and reliable mode of transport for all our customers, and these upcoming track works are a key part of that.
“This May, we’ll be replacing parts of the track around the David Lane stop and upgrading elements such as the critical point infrastructure at Highbury Vale, which helps to keep the network running smoothly.
“Our teams will be working hard to ensure these essential works will be completed on time, so we can resume normal service on Monday 20th May, ready for the working week.
“For those looking to travel over the weekend, our tram replacement bus service will cover much of the route affected, and alternative travel arrangements can be made by using our park and ride services at either the Wilkinson Street or Forest tram stops.
“As always, we apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to thank everyone for their cooperation during this time.”
