on each side, numbered 4 and 6, together with a west-facing terminal platform face, numbered 5. Platform 4 can accommodate a five-coach train, platform 5 a seven-coach train and platform 6 a fourteen-coach train. Finally the southern side platform is numbered 7 and can accommodate a thirteen-coach train. Sufficient space exists to the south of this platform to add a second platform face, effectively converting this side platform into an island platform, if traffic increases to justify it. Tram stop The new tram stop is positioned at a higher level than the station entrance and lies at a right angle to the railway platforms. It is designed as a through stop, with two side platforms flanking each side of the double tramway track. Like all NET stops, pedestrian access between the platforms is permitted on the level via crossings at each end of the platforms. Ticket machines are located on both platforms and the stop lies outside the ticket barrier-enforced paid area of the railway station. The tram stop is connected directly to the railway station's main concourse (and the railway platforms) via the new side concourse, with stairs, escalators and lifts bridging the height difference. A direct access is also provided to the station's multi-storey car park. The former access from Station Street is closed for refurbishment, but will reopen as an additional entrance to the new stop, accessible via a walkway running parallel to the railway tracks. North of the stop, the tramway tracks pass over Station Street and through the abandoned platforms of the former Station Street stop, before proceeding along the old Great Central Main Line viaduct and eventually joining an on-street section through the centre of Nottingham. South of the new stop, the tracks pass over Queen's Road before descending a ramp and rejoining the city's streets at ground level. The junction between the Clifton and Chilwell branches of the NET system lies just beyond this point.
