City tram makes first big profit

A tram Nottingham's tram system made an operating profit of £1.2m in the last 12 months.

The figures come from Arrow Light Rail which designed, built and now runs the Nottingham tram network.

The city council and the train maker Bombardier are both major partners in the Arrow Consortium.

The operating profit covers the period from December 2004 to December 2005 - and compares to a profit of £23,000 in the previous year.

The company reported the profit figures on a turnover of £27m.

The first Arrow-backed tram line was officially opened in Nottingham in March 2004.

Plans for a second tram line to Chilwell and Clifton are still under consideration by the government.
