You can see some of the pipes at the eastern end of the railway station,

IIRC this system utilizes the Great Central tunnels under Nottingham.
Great as the heating system is, I would much rather have the trains,
:-)


Its a mystery to me why they didn't route a branch of the tram line through it.
They head straight for it then veer off at the last moment. The tunnels northern
portal is at the victoria centre where they could have had a stop and then
headed off up the A60.
