Maintenance work on the lifts at Station Street will disrupt access to the Nottingham Station tram stop.

The Nottingham Express Transit (NET) will be closing the lifts for 8 weeks from 22nd June until 14th August.

The work is part of a routine project to replace components of the lifts, which in this case have been in place since 2004.

Lift access to the station will still be available via Nottingham Railway Station and the Nottingham Station car park.

Trams will also be unaffected by the work and will run as normal.

“The upcoming maintenance work to our Station Street lifts have been on our radar for quite some time. Our lifts have been in operation for more than 20 years, and with that comes natural wear and tear. We’re always committed to ensuring we provide all our customers with a great service and exceptional levels of care and consideration. That extends not just to their experience onboard our trams, but also to the maintenance of our tram stops and lifts too.

“Our Station Street lifts have not been reflective of the standard we pride ourselves on, but we’re pleased to now be able to rectify that. We apologise for the inconvenience caused by the upcoming works, and we thank all our customers for their patience.”

Andy Downie, head of operations and safety at NET
