Nottingham's tram network has been further disrupted after overhead lines were hit by a vehicle.

The problem has stopped services between Cator Lane in Beeston and the University of Nottingham.

"We have planned maintenance, a bus replacement will be in operation between Wilkinson Street and the Old Market Square, near Debenhams."
