NET's extension will more than double the size of Nottingham's tram network by the end of 2014. Passengers will benefit from 17.5km of new track and 28 new tram stops, easing access to many of the area's largest employers.

Construction work is being undertaken by Taylor Woodrow and Alstom, a joint venture on behalf of Tramlink Nottingham; the NET concession holder appointed by Nottingham City Council.

When NET's expansion is complete the tram network will consist of 51 tram stops, with the two new lines linking directly to Line One at Nottingham Station. The expanded tram network will visit 7 park and ride sites, providing service to approximately 23 million passengers a year.
