|---|---|---|---|
| Line One | On-street, tram only | 9th March 2004 | 3 |
The Forest is the largest of the Park & Ride site, where trams replaced buses in a long-established operation. The stop has three platforms. The centre track is connected to both running lines in both directions, and can be used to turn back short workings. This will be useful on busy Park & Ride days, for instance in the run-up to Christmas, and for when the city's annual Goose Fair is held on the adjoining open space. The stop here is on reserved track
