The NET extensions are mainly suburban, with large sections of ballasted track which is the cheapest type and unlikely to have many utilities to relocate. The street sections in Chilwell and Clifton are quite a small proportion of the total, and Meadows is a relatively recently-built (1970s) area so utility locations may be better understood than the 150+ years of accumulation in Birmingham.
The Birmingham extension is all on street or on structure, with all the extra problems created by a busy city centre including probably far more utilities to move. I wonder also if the figure includes the replacement of the existing tram fleet.
