Nottingham Tram Route – Phase 2
Posted: October 20, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentThe site, at Iremonger Pond, will be part of the new tram route from Nottingham to Clifton via Wilford. “Works associated with the construction of NET Phase Two could start as early as autumn 2011, with the new lines open for service in late 2014.” – Source: http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/netphase2/index.aspx?articleid=8841
Maine Road will be closed to other traffic and a new tram stop will be constructed. This is the starting point for my project.
