It took sixteen years of planning and more than three years of construction to make this Grenoble inspired tramway a reality. NET is a state-of-the-art tram system, which is successful already. It runs from Hucknall, through Bulwell and Hyson Green and into the city centre, terminating at Nottingham railway station. There is also a spur line to Phoenix Park (just off the M1 at junction 26).

NET represent all features of Light Rail. These 16 scenes prove that Light Rail is a high quality and a flexible technology. The pictures show Light Rail as elevated railway, as a classic street tramway, as single track railway, connecting city and region. The stops are busy, the buses are linking. Along the tram route, there are 23 stops with five Park and Ride sites (Hucknall, Moor Bridge, Phoenix Park, Wilkinson Street and The Forest). In the city centre, there are stops at Royal Centre (for the Theatre Royal, Royal Concert Hall and The Cornerhouse), Old Market Square, in the heart of Nottingham and Lace Market, for the National Ice Centre and Hockley.
