So every so often it is proposed that the Nottingham tram system would be extended east towards Bingham
My normal understanding is that such a system would consist of a relatively short section of tram line that then connects to the Grantham-Nottingham line with the remainder being run as a tram train, under 750vDC electrification (at least in the medium term).
However I have seen some newspaper articles and such that seem to imply that the route would actually be run on a dedicated alignment to Bingham, does anyone know about that?
I will declare a personal interest in that I am on the Grantham-Nottingham line and I would love the tram to eventually extend using tram trains all the way to Grantham (with suitable stations near Gonerby with the new housing development etc) but I understand that is unlikely to ever happen.
So what is proposed to happen with Bingham?
EDIT:
An example such newspaper articles would be:
Newark Advertiser - Nov 2015
There have also been occasional articles in the Nottingham Evening Post but I have been unable to locate online copies of those.
