Notts tram green light
The £167 million light rail scheme for Nottingham has been
green-lighted by the Government. The Nottingham Express Transit
project will be taken forward under a privately financed deal with
a 30-year concession period.
The Arrow consortium will design, build and operate the line. Arrow
comprises Tarmac, Adtranz - the Derby-based railway equipment and
rolling stock supplier, French tram operator Transdev and
Nottingham City Transport, the council owned bus company.
Arrow was appointed preferred bidder on 6 October 1997.
Line One will run from Nottingham's mainline Midland Station to
Hucknall in the north with a branch line to Cinderhill in the west.
