Replacement buses for tram services to Hucknall as investigations into three people killed in Nottingham continue

Trams around Hucknall remain suspended this morning (Wednesday, 14 June) as investigations continue into the death of three people in Nottingham.

A 31-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the deaths in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Nottinghamshire Police said it is keeping an 'open mind' over the motive of the city attacks - but at this time believe there is no one else outstanding in connection with the incidents.

Trams were suspended across the area yesterday, with roads around the crime scene also shut.

An update from Nottingham Express Transit (NET) this morning said: "Due to the ongoing issue in Bulwell, we will have a replacement bus service in operation from Tuesday 13 of June for customers travelling from the Hucknall and Bulwell area towards Toton Lane.

"The replacement bus service will start from Hucknall at 6am, running every 20 minutes. The service loops between Hucknall and Cinderhill Island.

"Customers will then need to board the tram at Cinderhill towards Clifton South.

"If you need to reach stops between Nottingham Station and Toton Lane, then you can change to a Toton Lane tram at any point between Wilkinson Street and Nottingham Station.

"EMR will be accepting our tickets and passes between Hucknall and Nottingham Station.We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to our customers and we are working hard to restore services back to normal."

And a man was subsequently found dead in Magdale Road.
