Former railway line
This is to be the alignment of the extension of the Nottingham tram route to Clifton. The original railway bridge has been replaced by infill, but the tram will cross the road by a level crossing here. The roadway will be lowered and the tramway raised above the old track bed. This will be the site of a tram stop.

Bus meets tram, Ruddington Lane
The no.3 bus runs hourly between Nottingham and Clifton, via an indirect route that includes the village of Ruddington. In comparison, the tram provides a more direct service to Clifton, running every few minutes.

Ruddington Lane closed (2)
The tramway will cross the road on a new level crossing lower than the current road level so the road has to be completely rebuilt.

Clifton tram at Ruddington Lane
A tram bound for Clifton South at one of the stops on the long section of reserved track between Wilford and Southchurch Drive, much of which follows the alignment of the former Great Central Railway line which closed in 1969. Ruddington Lane crossed the railway on a bridge. The site of the former Wilford Brickworks is to the right.
