NCT - Network Changes

NCT - Network Changes - Sunday 30th August 2009

We've made a number of timetable changes to some of our services, to better reflect the road conditions and traffic delays we experience and to ensure NCT continues to offer a reliable and punctual network.
There are also a number of improvements to our network, based on customer suggestions on how the NCT network can better meet your needs and expectations. These changes include:

Unilink 4, the Nottingham Trent University Shuttle bus increased in frequency to every 12 minutes
Maroon Line 13 re-routed to operate through the University Park Campus, which will provide a daily, all year round service into the Campus, linking it with the Broad Marsh, City Centre and Beeston
Extra Monday to Friday morning peak buses on Orange Line 35 to cater for increased patronage
Navy Go2 48 to Clifton increased in frequency to operate every 8 minutes on Monday to Saturday daytimes
The introduction of double deck buses on Citylink 1 to Queen’s Drive Park and Ride and Boots

In Summary, the following changes have been introduced to services, with new timetable Bus Guides available at the normal NCT outlets and online.

Unilink 4 NTU Shuttle Service

Unilink 4 will be increased in frequency to operate every 12 minutes during Monday to Friday daytimes, thanks to the continued partnership with NTU and Nottingham City Council. The route within the City Centre will alter slightly, with buses leaving NTU City Campus now serving North Church Street and Burton Street, rather than Milton Street. Bus stop J2 outside the Hilton Hotel will be replaced by a new stop on Burton Street, adjacent to the Cornerhouse, stop T7.

Green Line 5, 5A, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11C City Centre to West Bridgford

Buses will be re-timed within the City Centre, to give them slightly more time between Victoria Centre and the Train Station, to better reflect the time it takes buses to travel along Parliament Street. Most buses will operate up to 2 minutes later from Angel Row and then onwards towards West Bridgford and buses towards the City Centre will generally depart 1 minute later from their outer terminus.

Maroon Line 13 City Centre to Beeston

Buses will be re-routed through the University Park Campus, to offer an all day, all year service in to the University of Nottingham, providing links through to Beeston Town Centre, Broad Marsh and the City Centre. There are some minor changes to the timetable, but no change to the frequency of service.

Lilac Line 21 City Centre to Carlton Valley

We’re making some minor adjustments to the timetable to better reflect the road and parking conditions around the Carlton Valley loop. Most buses will now depart from the Fraser Road terminus 2 minutes earlier towards the City Centre. On Monday to Saturday early evenings, the frequency of buses between approximately 18:00 and 20:00 will change to every 15 minutes to better match customer demand and usage.

Orange Line 35 City Centre to QMC, Wollaton and Bulwell

A revised timetable is introduced on Monday to Friday mornings, including extra journeys to the City Centre and Bulwell to cater for increasing demand. Customers travelling to the Queen’s Medical Centre from Strelley, Bilborough and Bulwell will benefit from the introduction on an early morning bus, arriving at about 05:30. Most buses before 08:00 are re-timed to give more regular intervals with other NCT buses along Derby Road, as well as better arrival times in Bulwell. Buses towards the City Centre which currently start from Wigman Road Top on Mondays to Saturdays have been extended to start from Strelley Road Co-op.

Orange Line 36 City Centre to QMC, Beeston and Chilwell

We’re making some changes to the timetable in the Beeston and Chilwell area following customer and driver feedback about buses spending too much time at bus stops. Buses will depart Beeston Bus Station at the normal time, but with slightly less time to get to Chilwell and then slightly more time to get back to Beeston Bus Station. As a result, most buses from Chilwell through to Castle College will now operate earlier.
