DSCF5300 NET (Nottingham Express Transit) tram 202 in Chilwell - 25 Sep 2016

Sunday 25 September 2016 (0912) – Nottingham Express Transit (NET) tram 202 is one of the initial batch of 15 Bombardier Incentro AT6/5 trams built in Derby in 2002-2003 for the launch of the NET system. During 2013-2014 they were all refurbished, given new interiors and a new livery - although not much of that is visible around the colourful array of advertisements carried. The body style on the later Spanish built Alstom trams is more curved above the windows which didn’t seem to lend itself to advert application. It was seen at the ‘High Road Central College’ stop when heading towards the city centre and Hucknall. The tram is named after the author D H Lawrence who was born at Eastwood about 10 miles north west of Nottingham.
