There's a lot of work to do to keep the network going
A former army helicopter engineer has spoken of her role in keeping Nottingham's tram network moving. Laura Bartram, 26, moved to Nottingham in February 2019, before finding a job as a tram technical manager for NET trams in March 2019.
Laura said: "There are a few different things with this job but mainly I manage the contract between NET trams and Alstom, who maintain the trams, so we have to solve any problems that come up. Our requirement is 32 trams and two in reserve, so I have to see what is stopping us from getting to that point."We have two fleets of trams, one of which is older and they can both have different issues. So we have to work to see if we have any performance or reliability issues.
"But of course you have to apply that to the trams, too, it is always safety first. That's one of the things I have carried over." "I thought the army was very male orientated, but working on the shop floor in heavy rail was similar. Since I joined light rail working for NET trams has been the best thing I have done - they value my expertise but also gave me support when I needed it.
