The demise of the northern leg of HS2 means Nottinghamshire will have money to spend
The long and expensive saga of the northern leg of HS2 came crashing down at the Conservative Party conference last week with the Prime Minister suggesting the money could be better spent elsewhere. Sadly he didn't say the money would just be ploughed into improving the existing train network, or making it so you don't have to skip meals to afford an anytime return, instead suggesting the money will be given to regions to spend how they see fit.
While the tram is increasing in popularity again post-pandemic it's not the cheapest type of public transport to build, by any stretch, meaning any investment would be appreciated and probably utilised more than a slightly quicker train to Manchester. It could also convince many to give up the car for good in an era when fuelling up costs an absolute fortune.
What about East Midlands Airport Going beyond Clifton could conceivably point the tram towards East Midlands Airport, as well as other places on the Leicestershire border. Also, an extension in this direction has the added bonus of not needing to cross the River Trent, although it might require a dedicated track instead of using roads, like much of the city's tram.
