As of yesterday (11/11/2014) evening:
All line 3 track from Chilwell Road/Devonshire Road junction in Beeston to line 2 junction now laid, pinned and welded apart from short section of one line on Middle Street near Humber road chippie, which was placed and clamped but still needed base filling underneath and welding.
Also, NG2 business park junction is now fully open for traffic from/to both directions on Queens Road, new signals operational.
Net consortium says that test trams will be running to NG2 'in the near future' (but there's quite a lot of temporary tarmac to clean out of the rail groove first!).

As of yesterday (19/11/2014) evening:
All line 3 track from Chilwell Road/Devonshire Road junction in Beeston to line 2 junction now laid, pinned and welded. Still a number of bits where road surface needs completing though.
However, there are rumours going around that some sections of track were laid with 'the wrong weight steel' and may need to be re-done, and possibly that the relevant sections are some/all of those where the track goes across roads (as opposed to runs along them). The rumours are very vague and this could mean a minor issue (one particular crossing) or all of them!
Anyone got any decent info on this rumour (I got it from a guy at work who heard it from a friend)?
