The stop is also close to the Cornerhouse, the Victoria Centre and the Newton Building of Nottingham Trent University, although much of the university's City Campus is closer to the Nottingham Trent University stop.

The section was closed to normal traffic when the stop was installed in 2003, allowing trams to stop without blocking other road users.

A trailing crossover just to the north of the stop permits the termination of southbound trams in the stop, if circumstances prevent them continuing further into the city centre.

[1] The tram stop opened on 9 March 2004, along with the rest of NET's initial system.

[1] With the opening of NET's phase two, Royal Centre is now on the common section of the NET, where line 1, between Hucknall and Chilwell, and line 2, between Phoenix Park and Clifton, operate together.
