Services were being run as a nominal 12 minute service (ex PP and HU), ie 6 min south of Highbury Vale.  This was operated using runs that alternated between Hucknall and Phoenix Park.  This service requires 12 trams.  I did get reports that earlier in the day tram 209 was operating a short turn to Bulwell which included reversing by using the single line to shunt, rather then the crossover south of Bulwell.
Tickets
Conductors on trams were selling the normal machine tickets.  However the conductors on the tram stops were selling the "Pre-paid tickets", which were used last year.  The tickets stated Adult and child.  When we brought ours on Friday the conductor did ask my daughter if she was under 16  as we could of brought a Group ticket.
