Tram track works 5 - 18 August
From Monday 5 August the tramway will be closed for 14 days between The Forest and Old Market Square while essential track maintenance work is carried out.
Work is being carried out around the clock - with consideration for residents - in order to minimise disruption, but unfortunately these works will have an impact on both tram passengers and motorists - more details below.
Services will go back to normal on Monday 19 August, when affected roads will also reopen.
Trams will not be operating between The Forest and Old Market Square, but replacement bus shuttles will be in operation - please allow an extra 30 minutes for your journey.
The buses will also serve the Royal Centre and Nottingham Trent University stops, but High School will not be served.
Trams from Hucknall and Phoenix Park will run to The Forest, while services from Clifton South and Toton Lane will stop at Old Market Square.
There will be a temporary change to the timetable, meaning trams will not be running before 6am and after midnight during the works.

Access to The Forest Park & Ride will not be affected.
Forest Road will be closed at its junction with Waverley Street for the duration of the works. Signed diversions will be in place.
From time to time Nottingham Express Transit (NET), which runs the tram network, has to carry out essential maintenance work. Last year the tram carried around 19 million passengers, and it's crucial to keep the network in top condition.
This is a busy section of the network, and some stretches of track have been in place since the tram opened 15 years ago.
The work to replace them will ensure NET can continue to provide a safe, comfortable and reliable service to customers.
Constantina Samara, NET Customer Service Manager, added: “The work is being carried out during the holidays as this is one of the quietest times of the year and, although every effort is being made to make travelling as easy as possible, we would ask customers to allow extra time for their journey.
“Additional staff will be on hand throughout this period to advise customers on how best to complete their journey, and NET thanks them for their patience and apologises for any inconvenience while this essential maintenance is carried out.”
