Issues with the overhead line have caused mass disruption to tram services today.

It has meant that passengers leaving Hucknall have been unable to get further than Bulwell on the tram, and in the other direction, passengers haven't been able to get back to Hucknall from the city centre.

The problem first reared its head this morning just before 11:00 and still hasn't been fully fixed.

NET who operate the trams released the following statement: "Due to an issue with the overhead line we currently have no service between Bulwell and the Forest, and Phoenix Park and the Forest in both directions.

"Trams travelling from Hucknall will terminate at Bulwell. Trams travelling from Toton Lane will terminate at the Forest. Trams travelling from Clifton South will terminate at the Forest.

"NCT Yellow line and Orange line Buses and East Midland Railway are accepting our tickets and passes. We are also operating a circular shuttle bus service between the Forest and Bulwell Bus station."
