Chilwell Tram Derailed in Bus Collision Recovered as Disruption Continues

Overhead power remains off between Beeston and Toton Lane during the police investigation.

Overview

  • A Hucknall-bound NET tram and an NCT Orange 36 bus collided at the Inham Road stop around 9am on 19 February, derailing the tram and severely damaging both vehicles.
  • Firefighters, police and ambulance crews responded; several passengers were treated for minor injuries and East Midlands Ambulance Service transported one patient to hospital.
  • NET reports no trams operating between Toton Lane and Beeston Centre on 20 February because power has been switched off to support removal of the damaged tram.
  • Replacement options include a dedicated shuttle running between Toton Lane and Bramcote Lane, with NCT Orange line buses accepting NET tickets and passes.
  • Nottinghamshire Police say the cause remains under investigation and earlier closed Inham Road to allow scene work and vehicle recovery.
