The trams are going to be very packed I'd have thought. Hopefully a replacement bus service will be added to help with demand.
It's a bit of a walk from Beeston to the actual town centre there. Good ten minutes so doubt trams will be rammed from that area. From there it's twenty minutes to Nottm city centre and then another 5 to the station stops.
Would personally get a bus ticket with the train ticket as there's loads that go towards the Trent Bridge area.
Agree, my brother lived in Beeston. Not a bad walk though - the pub at Beeston station does very good food.
