Unlike many British cities of similar size Nottingham does not possess a large overground rail network however the re-opening of the Robin Hood line in the early 1990's has linked Nottingham with it's close neighbours of Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield and Mansfield. Older lines still connect the city to Beeston, Burton Joyce and Netherfield and Carlton.

Nottingham is the only city in the UK outside of London where bus use is growing and unemployment falling. Much money has been invested in the cities' bus network, and the two principal operators, NCT and Trentbarton, have some of the youngest fleets in the country. These two operators are also frequent winners of the National Bus Operator of the Year award. NCT are the current holders.
