  6. ‘To maintain Nottingham's popularity and to continue attracting new visitors to our City Centre, we need an environment that is pedestrian-friendly and free from pollution and congestion.’ All but essential traffic is excluded from the Clear Zone during the middle of the day. This means that in certain areas access will only be allowed at particular times, some routes will be converted into pedestrian streets and only buses, taxis, blue badge holders and trams will be allowed into the Clear Zone.

  10. Trams NET is Nottingham's state-of-the-art tram system.  It runs from Hucknall, through Bulwell and Hyson Green and into the city centre, terminating at Nottingham railway station.  There is also a line to Phoenix Park (just off the M1 at junction 26). There are two extensions currently in development: Chilwell via Queens Medical Centre (QMC) Beeston, and Clifton via Wilford.

  11. Along the tram route, there are 23 stops with five free Park and Ride sites (Hucknall, Moor Bridge, Phoenix Park, Wilkinson Street and The Forest).  In the city centre, there are stops at Royal Centre (for the Theatre Royal, Royal Concert Hall and The Cornerhouse), Old Market Square, in the heart of Nottingham and Lace Market, for the National Ice Centre and Broadmarsh shopping centre.

  12. The Nottingham tram provides high class public transport that is quick, frequent, reliable and accessible. The trams feature 100% low floors with no steps onto or within the vehicles and a range of features designed to help NET to be easy to use for everyone. NET trams are also closely linked with Nottingham City Transport (NCT) buses offering 'cityrider' bus/tram day tickets, EasyRider smartcards and two Bulwell link bus routes.  Conductors are on board every tram to take fares and help you in whatever way they can.
