===Clifton branch (line 2)===
The southern branch of line 2 commences at [[Clifton South tram stop|Clifton South]], a large Park & Ride site that lies just to the south-west of the large suburb of [[Clifton, Nottinghamshire|Clifton]], on the [[A453 road|A453]]. It then proceeds on street through the heavily built up Clifton Estate, serving stops at [[Summerwood Lane tram stop|Summerwood Lane]], [[Holy Trinity tram stop|Holy Trinity]], [[Clifton Centre tram stop|Clifton Centre]], [[Rivergreen tram stop|Rivergreen]] and [[Southchurch Drive North tram stop|Southchurch Drive North]], before entering a newly created right of way out of the estate.<ref name=ngt69>{{cite book |title = Nottingham's growing tramway – Building on NET's success |first = Geoffrey |last = Skelsey |pages=69–70 |language = en-gb}}</ref><ref name=emClifton>{{cite map |url=https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/election-maps/gb/?x=455129&y=334325&z=11&bnd1=DIS&bnd2=CPC&labels=on |title=Ordnance Survey Election Maps (Clifton) |publisher=[[Ordnance Survey]] |access-date=21 January 2022 |language = en-gb}}</ref>

The new right of way joins the route of the former [[Great Central Railway]], serving stops on the old railway formation at [[Ruddington Lane tram stop|Ruddington Lane]], [[Compton Acres tram stop|Compton Acres]] and [[Wilford Lane tram stop|Wilford Lane]] before reaching the [[Wilford|village of Wilford]]. Here it diverges from the former railway and serves [[Wilford Village tram stop]] before crossing the [[River Trent]] on the former [[Wilford Toll Bridge]], long closed to motor vehicles, which has been widened to allow pedestrians and cyclists to continue to use it. It then  runs through the Meadows residential area, serving tram stops at [[Meadows Embankment tram stop|Meadows Embankment]] and [[Queens Walk tram stop|Queens Walk]] before reaching the junction with the Toton Branch (line 1).<ref name=emNotSouth/><ref name=ngt69/><ref name=emWilford>{{cite map |url=https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/election-maps/gb/?x=456630&y=336649&z=11&bnd1=DIS&bnd2=CPC&labels=on |title=Ordnance Survey Election Maps (Wilford) |publisher=[[Ordnance Survey]] |access-date=21 January 2022}}</ref>

The branch is {{convert|7.6|km|mi|abbr=on}} long, of which almost two thirds is segregated. There are 12 tram stops on the branch, and the journey between Clifton South and Nottingham railway station takes 21{{nbsp}}minutes. The stop at Clifton South is in the [[Borough of Rushcliffe]], and the line between just before Ruddington Lane and just before Wilford Village forms the boundary between the Borough of Rushcliffe and the City of Nottingham.
