Nottingham Express Transit tram stop

Clifton South is a tram stop and Park & Ride site on the Nottingham Express Transit (NET) network. It is situated in the Borough of Rushcliffe, just to the south-west of the large City of Nottingham suburb of Clifton, on the A453. The Park & Ride site has a capacity of over 1000 cars. There is also an interchange with local bus services.[1][2][3][4]

Quick Facts General information, Location ...

The tram stop is the terminus of line 2 of the NET, to Phoenix Park via Clifton, Wilford and the centre of Nottingham. The stop comprises a pair of side platforms flanking the twin terminal tracks, with one of the platforms being long enough to accommodate, if necessary, two trams. Trams run at frequencies that vary between 4 and 8 trams per hour, depending on the day and time of day. A half-hourly express bus service, the Skylink Express, links the stop to East Midlands Airport.[1][2][5]

The Clifton South stop opened on 25 August 2015, along with the rest of NET's phase two.[6]

In 2023, extension of the NET to Clifton South was listed in the Department for Transport's list of projects to be funded by the cancellation of Phase 2 of High Speed 2, despite the tram stop already being operation for nearly a decade by that point.[7]
