Severe disruption to tram network as repair work causes suspension of services between Hucknall and Wilkinson Street

There is severe disruption to Nottingham Express Transit's (NET) tram service today (Monday 19 June).
Due to repair work being carried out in Bulwell, trams are currently not running between Hucknall and Wilkinson Street.
This is due to an incident which happened last Monday (12 June) when a carriage collided with one of the poles which supports the overhead equipment for the network.
To add to the disruption for Hucknall residents, there is no bus replacement service to or from Hucknall station although East Midlands Railway (EMR) is accepting tram tickets between Hucknall and Nottingham.
A statement from NET said: "Our Phoenix Park and Clifton South services will be operating as normal to all destinations. We still have repairs to carry out in the Bulwell area and therefore the Hucknall/Toton services will only be operating between Wilkinson Street and Toton Lane. Unfortunately we have been unable to secure enough resources to continue with the replacement bus service from Hucknall and can only apologise. EMR Trains are accepting tram tickets between Hucknall and Nottingham. NCT Yellow and Turquoise buses will also be accepting tram tickets between Nottingham City and up to as far as Moor Bridge. We would like to advise customers parking at Hucknall P&R that it would be best to park and use the tram services from Phoenix Park or Wilkinson Street if possible.
