Snaking from the back of the Asda supermarket in Hyson Green and into Forest Fields, commuters on the tram will get a sense of the busy Noel Street from afar. Tramlines run along the busy street which is densely populated with family and student houses.
Tram stops in Noel Street and in Hyson Green opened in 2004 as the first phase of the network was built between Hucknall or Phoenix Park and Station Street. Noel Street is situated off Gregory Boulevard which itself is a busy thoroughfare. And while residents in Noel Street say it doesn't take long to get used to the sound of the trams passing by, they say add in the cars into the mix at rush hour and the congestion becomes 'hectic'.
Noel Street resident Kenny Lang, a 37-year-old Amazon worker, says he struggles to get a good night's sleep a lot of the time. He described Noel Street during rush hour to a Mumbai, a city in India known for its congestion.
