Hi John,
You can buy a day ticket on the tram and I am pretty sure that this covers you for buses in the city as well. The tram starts/terminates just outside the Nottingham Midland station. Actually it runs on the only bit of Great Central viaduct left untouched for about 100 yards , it then goes onto a new viaduct before taking to the streets.
I think the ticket is about £2.40p, that is what we pay when we go park and ride using the tram from the other end of the line at Phoenix Park.
It is worth a ride all the way because you run off the streets again and run alongside the "Robin Hood" line.
Just before you get to Phoenix Park, which is an industrial estate by the way built on an old colliery, you pass under an old railway bridge which I think is one of the oldest railway structures in the area. I really must get my local history up to scratch.
I cannot help you with the train details I am afraid, but let me know when you are coming to Nottingham, and grandchild sitting duties allowing, I will show you a few of the local railway relics if I can. I am not one of the relics by the way.
Paul.
