Nottingham tram prices to increase on July 1

The operator of Nottingham’s tram network has confirmed that price rises will be implemented from next Monday (July 1). 

The planned price adjustments will see price increases across the board, with adult single journey tickets set to increase by 10p, taking them from £3.20 to £3.30.

A day adult ticket will increase by 10p to £5.40 and weekly adult tickets are set to increase by 50p, taking them from £23.00 to £23.50.

Meanwhile group off-peak tickets will also be going up by 50p, taking them from £8.50 to £9.00.  

However, group peak and short-hop tickets will remain the same price. 

Nottingham Express Transit (NET) says the price changes will support its plans for further investment across the network, and will help it continue to provide an accessible, sustainable and convenient mode of transport for tram users across the city. 

Andrew Conroy, chief operating officer at NET, said: “Over the past 20 years, the tram network has become an integral part of life for the thousands of tram users across the city who rely on it for days out, their commute to work, or for travel to their place of study. 

“We’re always committed to ensuring we provide our customers with the very best service. 

“These recent fare changes will not only allow us to do just that but will also mean we can continue offering a convenient and low-carbon public transport option for tram users for years to come.

“Our fare adjustments also follow the ongoing external pressures we face as a result of the current economic landscape, high energy costs and inflation. 

“However, we’re also facing ongoing pressures due to the extension of the Government’s £2 capped bus fares which other transport providers are able to reap the benefits of, but sadly don’t currently include trams.”
