Nottingham Express Transit (NET) is a light-rail tramway in the Nottingham area in England. The first line opened to the public on 9 March 2004, having cost £200 million (£229 million as of 2012) to construct. The scheme took sixteen years from conception to implementation. It is operated by Tramlink Nottingham, a consortium made up of Meridiam Infrastructure, OFI InfraVia, Alstom Transport, Keolis, VINCI Investments and Wellglade Group. Previously it was operated by Arrow Light Rail from 9 March 2004 until the 16 December 2011. Future Route 2 the Clifton route will go to the south of the City. It will serve the densely populated residential areas, including the Meadows, Wilford / Ruddington Lane area and the Clifton Estate, terminating at a new park and ride site serving the A453. It will cross the River Trent on the Wilford Toll Bridge which will be widened to allow pedestrians and cyclists to continue to use it, and then use part of the Great Central Railway formation though Wilford. The route is 7.6 km, of which 63% is segregated. The journey time from the Old Market Square to the terminus will be 23.5 minutes. Current outline designs show 13 tram stops, attracting approximately 3.9 million passenger journeys a year. Future Route 3 the Chilwell and Beeston route will go to the south west of the city. It will serve the northern edge of the Meadows residential area, the ng2 development site, Queen's Medical Centre, the University of Nottingham, Beeston town centre and Chilwell, terminating at a new park and ride site at the junction of the A52 road and Toton Lane, about one mile from junction 25 of the M1 motorway. The route is 9.8 km, of which 59% is segregated. The journey time from the Old Market Square to the terminus will be 30 minutes. Current outline designs show 15 tram stops, attracting approximately 5.1 million passenger journeys a year. The concession for the system has now passed from Arrow consortium to Tramlink Nottingham. All new 22 Alstom Citadis Trams have now been delivered by May 2015. The two new extensions to Clifton South and Toton Lane opened just after 6:00am on 25th August 2015.
