Clifton South is a tram stop and Park & Ride site on the Nottingham Express Transit (NET) network in the city of Nottingham. It is situated just to the south-west of the large suburb of Clifton, on the A453. The Park & Ride site has a capacity of over 1000 cars. There is also an interchange with local bus services.[1][2][3]
The tram stop is the terminus of line 2 of the NET, to Phoenix Park via Clifton, Wilford and the centre of Nottingham. The stop comprises a pair of side platforms flanking the twin terminal tracks, with one of the platforms being long enough to accommodate, if necessary, two trams. Trams run at frequencies that vary between 4 and 8 trams per hour, depending on the day and time of day. A half-hourly express bus service, the Skylink Express, links the stop to East Midlands Airport.[1][2][4]
The Clifton South stop opened on 25 August 2015, along with the rest of NET's phase two.[5]
