Nottingham

This is the complete story of Nottingham's modern tramway network. It begins with a look at the city's original tramway and trolleybus system, including a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of trolleybuses compared to trams and giving details of surviving examples of original Nottingham trams and trolleybuses. This is followed by an examination of the Nottingham Express Transit project from planning and design to construction and operation. It describes the tram fleet, the depot, control centre and how the network operates, concluding with a look at potential future developments. Some original documentation and publicity material is used along with a wide selection of previously unpublished photos illustrating construction, opening of the system and daily operations.
