These days about 3 million people use the tram a year.
They sound like Covid affected stats, because 19/20 was 18.7 million. 20/21 was 3.4 million.....now up to £1,076,000 per week. Hard to imagine how that can be!

The Mrs and a few mates were looking for an AirBnB place to sleep at least 6, possibly with parking, they were throwing a few locations about last night and one suggestion was Magdala Road, Mansfield Road end, now I had a mate live in that area 25 years ago, while not the roughest then and it was going through a bit of gentrification, based on the walk to the tram being across 'The Forest' I was a little bit 'not keen' on the idea, justified or not? 
Think 6, 50something women, partial to a bit of Prosecco, not familiar with the area at night.
Magdala Road used to be a hang out for the Nottingham Street Walking ladies, but the internet has solved that.Think 6, 50something women, partial to a bit of Prosecco, not familiar with the area at night.
That part of Carrington is pretty decent, but you could cop unlucky anywhere. It's a hop skip & a jump into town, and taxis each way would cost beans between the group. (It'd be about five minutes in a cab).

Not been in, but this is just down the road from us & benefits from being on the quiet side of Maid Marian Way. Hot tubs & everything!

They had seen that one, rejected because it's a bit too big/their group is too small. https://castlehousenottingham.co.uk/
Hope you are well Steve.
It’s been proven that the council are indeed a set of loons.
Nottingham’s main draw for hotel accommodation is stag and hens at the weekend and sporting events. There’s not a hotel room to be had the back end of this week due to the Test Match.
It does get a lot of tourists who inevitably are deeply disappointed with the castle.

It’s the Castle isn’t it? Bit too far up for Fothergills.Fusion777 said:
Thought I'd park in the Forest Req like I've done quite a few times before and walk down/round for a few hours. Came back to find the car clamped, £140 to release.
My fault, I didn't see the signs that say that will happen if you don't take the tram, though signage is pretty poor for a vast open car park. I genuinely missed them and didn't know they were enforcing it.
Guess that now NET were/are in the hole to the tunes of millions, they've got to try and claw some back somehow. Seems very strict though for a first "offence". Not like the car park was rammed either, there were hundreds of spaces.
They've also slapped a 20mph limit on Gregory Boulevard between the roundabout and car park too, for good measure.
Good job high streets aren't struggling, isn't it?
