The next set of tram track improvement works in Nottingham have been announced which will see no trams running between The Forest and Old Market Square for 13 days during July. Work will be undertaken at High School and Royal Centre during this closure.
The works will take place as follows:
- Tuesday 2nd to Sunday 14th July
- No trams between The Forest and Old Market Square
- The stops at High School, Nottingham Trent University and Royal Centre will be closed throughout
- Trams will run Hucknall/Phoenix Park to The Forest and Old Market Square to Clifton South/Toton Lane
- Replacement buses to run from The Forest to Market Street every 10 minutes
Trevor Stocker, NET Head of Operations, said: “We’re committed to ensuring the optimal safety and reliability for our tram users, and these track works are an essential part of that. Some of our tram tracks have been operating since 2004, so with natural wear and tear, this type of maintenance work allows us to keep everything running smoothly – especially on such a key and highly-used part of our tram network.
“Like with any of our improvement works, we put steps in place to keep disruption levels to a minimum. The track works starting on Tuesday 2nd July will be ongoing 24/7, so noise prevention measures will be implemented. However, people may experience some noise while the works are taking place, just for a short period of time.
“We ask that all affected tram users plan ahead, allow additional time for their journeys and become familiar with our replacement bus service. Normal service is set to resume Monday 15 July as we head into the working week.”
In preparation for these works there will be further overnight works at High School between Sunday 23rd June and Monday 1st July and at Royal Centre from Sunday 16th June and Monday 1st July.
