There is also huge potential to develop rail services into Nottingham. Passenger numbers have already been growing steadily on the City Council sponsored Robin Hood Line and on other regional rail services. More people are also travelling on Midland Mainline services with the recent doubling in service frequency to London and reduction in journey times. However, train and track capacity improvements are urgently required. Over 30,000 passengers are expected to travel on the system each day.
Investigations are underway on developing further tram routes to form a network.
Integrating the tram into the rest of the public transport network will be a major challenge which this Plan will help to achieve. In short this document, the City's first ever Public Transport Plan, sets out actions which will to help guide the development of the City's public transport services in the new millennium and shows how high quality public transport services will contribute to making Nottingham a truly civilised city.
