WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE BUS?
Once the tram is up and running, I want to know what will happen to the buses in Clifton? Are they are going to be taken off and then we will be left with only the tram.?This would not be good. I hope the 2 and the 3 still run, and the 48. These are [...]
STOP MOANING ABOUT THE TRAM
I was reading the recent letters in your paper about the tram in Clifton, and I bet all those moaning about it will be the first ones on it. How do people expect a tram system this size to be installed without a little disruption? As for the diversion, I think it’s great. Now every [...]
TRAM WILL BE A GREAT SUCCESS
I cannot believe all the people moaning about the tram. It is a great mode of transport and you only need to look at the success of line one to see that. People need to accept it is here to stay. John (Clifton)
TRAM DEBATE CONTINUES IN BRIDGFORD
In the March edition of the Local News, letters from residents of West Bridgford registered their opposition to the tram. I was disappointed that the article (page four) headed ‘Nottingham Tram extensions under way’ carried comments from NET and the City Council but nothing from local residents. The waffle from the City Council about regeneration [...]
TRAM GLEE FOR WEST BRIDGFORD
I have read with interest the tram letters in the Local News in recent months. I understand why some may not want the tram, but we are about to have a state-of-the-art transport system in Compton Acres/West Bridgford. I think this is great news and it will now put Nottingham on a par with some [...]
TRAM WORKS HITTING BUSINESS
Some local businesses are already feeling the pinch following the beginning of tram construction works in Clifton. Local businessman Kev Clarke said: “I am a trader at the bottom end of the drive and our parade is like a ghost town. No cars or regular customers have visited our parade due to the fact that [...]
NOTTINGHAM TRAM EXTENSION UNDER WAY
Construction for Nottingham’s tram extension is already under way and a series of diversions are due to come into place in Clifton this month. There has already been temporary traffic lights along Southchurch Drive and Farnborough Road, but work will step up a gear now with the installation of the lines and stops over the [...]
WEST BRIDGFORD ‘CAN WELCOME THE TRAM’
The extension to Nottingham’s tram system has begun and one of the new lines will run into West Bridgford and Compton Acres. Much has been said about the impending arrival of the tram and not all of it has been good. Some are excited and eager to use it, whilst some residents are wary. But [...]
DO WE NEED TWO NEW LINKS?
I would like to comment on the tram fiasco. I find it hard to believe that the Clifton end of Nottinghamshire can sustain two new traffic links into the city. Why on earth would you spend taxpayers money on dualing the A453 and then spend money putting a new tram system in the same place? [...]
CAN’T WAIT FOR THE TRAM
I was opposed to the tram at first, but now I work next to a tram stop. It really will be great for me to leave my car at the park and ride, and then I can just jump on the tram. Job done. I can’t wait for the finish – hope my job lasts [...]
