Ambitious plans to extend Nottingham's tram network have been revealed, showing the possible route the tram could take to link the city with East Midlands Airport and Derby.
Plans have been sent to the Government by Derby and Nottingham city councils, showing the route from Nottingham to Derby, taking in Toton and Long Eaton, as well as a separate arm to East Midlands Airportvia Castle Donington.
The map is about as clear as mud and doesn't match the article....
The red square in the middle is Toton HS2, you can then see the tram snaking between the M1 and HS2, crossing over the M1/A50 just north of M1 J24a, to the rail freight terminal and onto the airport.
From Toton HS2 you can see it more or less heading due west via Borrowash, Derwent Trianglem to Derby City Centre.
They've been shortlisted for the next round of the Transforming Cities fund so they now get some funding to do the fully detailed plans. The yellow lines are the "Classic Compatible" Links.
Shorter extensions, including to the yet-to-be-built 3,000 home development at Clifton pastures, and a second through Netherfield to Gedling are also still being considered, and may be included in the main bid.
