Tram services suspended due to 'technical issues'

All tram services in Nottingham have been suspended due to technical problems.

Shortly after 19:00 BST on Sunday, tram operator Nottingham Express Transit (NET) confirmed the entire network had been affected.

It said problems related to the control room being able to communicate with drivers meant all trams to return to depots.

NET apologised for the disruption and said it was working to fix the issue.

In a statement, NET said: "I'm very sorry, but due to issues with our control room communicating with trams, we have had to suspend our services and return them to our depot.

"We're working to resolve this issue and will keep you updated if anything changes."

It added that bus operator Nottingham City Transport (NCT) was accepting tram tickets and passes, as was East Midland Railway for journeys between Nottingham Station, Bulwell, Hucknall and Beeston.
