Report of Head of Operations, Nottingham Trams

Trevor Stocker, Operations Manager, Nottingham Trams, presented the report, updating the Committee on performance and NET progress since the last meeting, and stated the following:

  i.  reliability was 93.4% and 97%, and punctuality 88% and 93% for October and November respectively;

  ii.  the power outage on 15 October would normally not have been an issue, however, there was an issue with the back-up power system not working. This has now been resolved so the issue should not occur again;

  iii.  there are still incidents of cars driving onto tracks, especially at Lenton Lane, and improved signage and road markings are being considered.

Resolved to note the update.

Update from the Chief Operating Officer, Tramlink Nottingham

As no Tramlink representative was in attendance at the meeting, this item was deferred.

Martin Williams, Major Projects Governance Manager, presented the report, which detailed a complaint from a City resident in relation to track noise and vibration, whenever trams pass over points located south of Bulwell Tram stop, affecting their mental health and wellbeing and resulting in damage to their property.

During discussion, members requested that an inspection visit be made to the property, and that portable monitoring equipment be used to assess the levels of vibration in and around the property.
