Best thing that ever happened bringing the Trams back to Nottingham & Manchester

[@srgntsylveon2919]

I personally really like the trams here, totally not because I'm from Nottingham, but you can't deny the value for money with this network

[@tonywinward]

I’m currently travelling the UK exploring the tramway cities. Nottingham will be my next stop :)

[@tonyrobertson498]

A very impressive network. I enjoyed riding it. Seems to be great scope for extending the network in future.

[@zaydansari4408]

Trams are a lot louder than they seem to be. Perhaps some shock absorbing material under the rails would help? I don’t know

[@bernardjack983]

Very good, I would like to see videos of Drivers Eye View.Trams are Cleaner,use Electricity,more Environmentally Friendly,& reduce Congestion.

You said you went to Nottingham University on day 1, but that was Nottingham Trent. Shane you didn't go out to Toton Lane.

[@northernofficials4461]

I travelled the whole network

[@johnmasters504]

Great stuff

[@YoloMenace001]

Station Street is actually not the only abandoned stop on the network as there was a stop that was somewhat built and never opened which is between Basford and Wilkinson Street

[@DavidFrankal]

Didn't know that! I'll keep an eye out for it if I'm ever back in Nottingham

[@YoloMenace001]

@@DavidFrankal it's not far south of Western Boulevard I'll try and get the location

[@rainbowbus559]

Wow

[@lorenbillings721]

Nifty interleaved rails at 13:39, again starting at 22:20. From 21:15 until 22:06 the tracks somewhat awkwardly go pigeon-toed, creating two diamonds for tracks of the same line! What was the rationale for that way of separating the tracks between streets?

[@DavidFrankal]

Haven't a clue!

[@lorenbillings721]

My only guess was one-way streets or perhaps peculiar locations of platforms. I couldn't see enough of the layout in the video to see why. Planners are generally loath to have such cross-overs so it must have been a good reason. I see that there are other NET videos so I might watch for more clues.

[@emilymay463]

@@lorenbillings721 The reason why it does that is because there is a middle platform that is connected to both tracks which allows trams to terminate also I live in Nottingham so that’s how I know

[@bazza945]

Ahhh, those halcyon covid free days, so long ago.

[@oforid2227]

Well i guess why they call it the Nottingham Express Tramway

[@YoloMenace001]

Its Transit not tramway

[@josephsirrell1536]
