Tram
The tram directly links our campuses to Nottingham train station and Nottingham city centre, with stops at University Park, Queen's Medical Centre and King's Meadow Campus.
All tram travel is 'buy before you board', so please ensure you buy a ticket from the machine at the stop or validate your travel pass before getting on a tram.
