The strike is planned to be in effect throughout Saturday, running from midnight to midnight. Services will also be affected on Friday night as trams are returned to the depot before midnight.

In the absence of a tram service, Trent Barton and NCT Buses, as well as East Midlands Rail, will be accepting tram tickets on their services throughout the duration of the strike. However, there is likely to be significant inconvenience and disruption to network customers.

If you are planning to travel this weekend, leave extra time for journeys. If you’re planning a night out in the city on Friday or Saturday, please make sure you plan your journey home in advance. - you should aim to complete any Friday evening tram journeys by 10pm.

Service will resume as normal from 6am Sunday morning.

The planned strike comes following a dispute over pay after trade union GMB rejected a recent pay rise offer from Nottingham Express Transit (NET). NET offered a backdated pay increase of 3% for 2020 and a further 3% for 2021, or the level of inflation if it is higher.
