NCT to Launch WET Bus on Nottingham & Beeston Canal

Nottingham City Transport, which operates buses and the NET tram network, has announced the launch of its new Water Environment Transport (WET) service in conjunction with the Nottingham Narrowboat Project. WET uses state of the art ‘narrowboat buses’ on two routes, providing relaxing travel for commuters, shoppers, sports fans and visitors to the Crown Court.

New route WET 1 runs from Meadow Lane with stops at the Island Quarter, Nottingham Station and Crown Court terminating at the Navigation Inn, where it connects to WET 2, which operates to Beeston Rylands with stops at the Castle Campus, Castle Marina, Lenton Lane, the Showcase Cinemas and Boots.
