DescriptionNottingham Express Transit tram No. 211 at Station Street terminus - geograph.org.uk - 1251383.jpg |
English: Nottingham Express Transit tram No. 211 at Station Street terminus This stop is on an elevated structure near Nottingham Railway Station. Since the system opened in March 2004 this has been the southern terminus. In 2009 the Government gave the necessary legal consents for two extensions into the south of Nottingham. To build these extensions more money needs to be found. If this can be done, the elevated structure will be extended and this station relocated.
The tram is one of the 15 built for the system by ADtranz (now part of Bombardier), which were assembled in nearby Derby. Compared with most second generation UK trams they are unusually narrow, because they have to be threaded through very narrow streets with some quite sharp curves. As a result for people who are not slim, the seats can feel a bit cramped. However modern trams are designed for coping with rush hour loadings which means most people are going to stand, so presumably for many passengers the quality of the seating is academic. The long length of these vehicles mean they can take a maximum of 191 people, but only 62 of these can be seated. This particular tram is going to Phoenix Park which is a spur off the main line to a large park and ride site. The other terminus is at Hucknall. |
