Disruption to Nottingham tram services, caused by issues with the overhead line, have continued into a second day.

Passengers travelling from Hucknall will only be able to get as far as Bulwell and those heading towards Hucknall from Nottingham city centre will only be able to get as far as The Forest.

The issue, first reported by Nub News , began just before 11am yesterday.

The company that runs the tram, NET, released the following statement on their website: "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."

Speaking to Hucknall Nub News, a spokesperson for NET, said: "Engineers are working hard to rectify the problem and ensure a full service resumes as soon as possible."

Passengers are advised to check NET's website and social media pages throughout the day for the latest information and regular updates on tram services.
