Beeston transport interchange
The Beeston transport interchange, also known as Beeston Centre tram stop, is an interchange between the trams of the Nottingham Express Transit (NET) network and local buses. It is in the centre of the town of Beeston in Nottinghamshire, England. The interchange is some 750 metres (0.5 mi) north-west of Beeston railway station.The interchange is built on the site of Styring Street and an adjacent multi-storey car park, which was demolished before construction began. It is modelled on a successful design used on the Strasbourg tram system in France, and comprises two staggered island platforms. Trams serve the outer faces of the platforms, using their off-side doors, whilst the inner faces each provide three bus stands that are served by local bus services. An elongated facing crossover allows outbound trams to terminate in the inbound platform. Vehicular access to the interchange is restricted to buses and trams.The interchange opened to buses on 12 July 2015 and has replaced the previous Beeston bus station, which was situated nearby. The tram stop within the interchange opened on 25 August 2015, along with the rest of NET's phase two.
