In Nottingham a road crosses an adjacent railway
and tramline. I think that both lines are single track,
being a former double track railway, but I might be
wrong there.

Both are double track.
The tramline has been newly built to the west.

Thanks.

There are barriers around the railway but the tramway
is ungated - this is because the tramline is too frequent
to have a gated crossing.

The trams don't have barriers at any road
"crossing", that's the way trams are.

It was originally proposed that the tramline would be inside the barriers.
This was scrapped because of the high frequency of the trams.
