Tram travel

Nottingham is blessed with a fantastic tram system. Running every 7-15 minutes, the tram is a very reliable, convenient and sustainable way of travelling to the QMC from key areas in town. It is also the best way to commute to QMC if you travel to Nottingham by train.

Similarly you can use the tram to commute to City Campus by riding until the Wilkinson Street stop and then catching the Medilink bus, or to Ropewalk house by riding to the Old Market Square stop (from where it is a short walk).
