A vehicle similar to the land train at Nottingham Castle could be introduced at sites including Wollaton Hall and Newstead Abbey in future. Nottingham City Council says there are no current plans to do so, but that it is an idea which it will look at for the future.
The land train took its first journey in June last year, with the idea that the electric vehicle would improve access for Nottingham Castle visitors during the summer. The trust which was running the Castle at the time went into liquidation in November and the future of the land train, along with the rest of the venue, was thrown into doubt.
But when Nottingham City Council announced it was taking charge of the Castle once again, the authority eventually confirmed the land train would return. The vehicle was visible outside the ducal palace when the site fully reopened to the public for the first time last month.
