Page "Beeston, Nottinghamshire" Paragraph 60

Proposals to build a light rail ( tram ) line through the town as part of an extension to the Nottingham Express Transit system were approved by the Government in 2009.

The line would run from Nottingham city centre to Beeston and then Chilwell.

From a stop at University Boulevard, the line would head along Fletcher Road and Lower Road to a stop at Middle Street, then continue along Middle Street to a " Beeston Town Centre " stop near the existing bus station.

After the Town Centre stop the line would continue roughly westwards on Chilwell Road to stops at Chilwell Road and then Castle College.

After the college the line would continue through Chilwell and onto the terminus stop, a park and ride site called " Toton Lane ", situated between Toton and Stapleford.
