Tramlink

Tramlink is a light rail tram system serving Croydon and surrounding areas in South London, England. It began
operation in May 2000 as Croydon Tramlink, becoming the rst tram system in London since 1952. It is owned by
London Trams, an arm of Transport for London (TfL), and is operated as a concession by FirstGroup.
The network consists of 39 stops along 28 km (17 mi) of track,[2] on a mixture of street track shared with other
trac, dedicated track in public roads, and o-street track consisting of new rights-of-way, former railway lines, and
one right-of-way where the Tramlink track parallels a third rail-electried Network Rail line.
The network has four lines that coincide in central Croydon, with eastbound termini at Beckenham Junction, Elmers
End and New Addington, and a westbound terminus at Wimbledon, where there is an interchange for London Underground. The Tramlink is the fourth-busiest light rail network in the UK behind Manchester Metrolink, Tyne and
Wear Metro and the Docklands Light Railway.

Construction

Tram on trial in George Street, Croydon in October 1999. The cars were painted in London Transport red and white livery.

In 1990 Croydon Council with London Regional Transport (LRT) put the project to Parliament and the Croydon

HISTORY

Tramlink Act 1994 resulted, which gave LRT the power to build and run Tramlink.[3]
In 1996 Tramtrack Croydon Limited (TCL) won a 99-year Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract to design, build,
operate and maintain Tramlink. TCL was a partnership comprising FirstGroup, Bombardier Transportation (the
builders of the systems trams), Sir Robert McAlpine and Amey (who built the system), and Royal Bank of Scotland
and 3i (who arranged the nances). TCL kept the revenue generated by Tramlink and LRT had to pay compensation
to TCL for any changes to the fares and ticketing policy introduced later.[4]
TCL subcontracted operations to CentreWest Buses.
One of the factors leading to its creation was that the London Borough of Croydon has no London Underground
service.

1.2

Former lines reused

Interlaced track near Mitcham

There are four routes: Route 1 Elmers End to Croydon; Route 2 Beckenham Junction to Croydon; Route 3 New
Addington to Wimbledon; and Route 4 Therapia Lane to Elmers End. Route 2 runs parallel to the Crystal Palace
to Beckenham Junction line of the Southern network between Birkbeck and Beckenham Junction the National Rail
track had been singled some years earlier.[5]
From Elmers End to Woodside, route 1 and route 4 (and route 2 from Arena) follow the former British Rail branch
line to Addiscombe, then diverge to reach Addiscombe tram stop, 500 metres (1,600 feet) east of the demolished
Addiscombe railway station. At Woodside the old station buildings stand disused, and the original platforms have
been replaced by accessible low platforms.
From Woodside to near Sandilands (routes 1, 2 and 4) and from near Sandilands almost to Lloyd Park (route 3),
Tramlink follows the former Woodside and South Croydon Railway, including the Park Hill (or Sandilands) tunnels.
The section of Route 3 between Wimbledon and West Croydon mostly follows the single-track British Rail route,
closed on 31 May 1997 so that it could be converted for Tramlink.[6] Within this section, from near Phipps Bridge

1.3

Buyout by Transport for London

to near Reeves Corner, route 3 follows the Surrey Iron Railway, giving Tramlink a claim to one of the worlds
oldest railway alignments Tramway Path beside Mitcham tram stop had its name long before Tramlink. A partial
obstruction near this point (reinforcement to a retaining wall below a car park) has necessitated the use of interlaced
track.
A Victorian footbridge beside Waddon New Road was dismantled to make way for the yover[7] over the West
Croydon to Sutton railway line. The footbridge has been re-erected at Corfe Castle station on the Swanage Railway
(although some evidence suggests that this was a similar footbridge removed from the site of Merton Park Railway
Station).[8][9]

1.3

Buyout by Transport for London

In March 2008, TfL announced that it had reached agreement to buy TCL for 98m. The purchase was nalised on
28 June 2008.[10] The background to this purchase relates to the requirement that TfL (who took over from London
Regional Transport in 2000) compensates TCL for the consequences of any changes to the fares and ticketing policy
introduced since 1996. In 2007 that payment was 4m, with an annual increase in rate.[4]
In October 2008 TfL introduced a new livery, using the blue, white and green of the routes on TfL maps, to distinguish
the trams from buses operating in the area. The colour of the cars was changed to green, and the brand name was
changed from Croydon Tramlink to simply Tramlink.[11] These refurbishments were completed in early 2009.

Current system
Stops

Tram 2530 leaving Croydon on an Elmers End service in 2004

The tram stops have low platforms, 35 cm (14 in) above rail level. They are unstaed and have automated ticket
machines. In general, access between the platforms involves crossing the tracks by pedestrian level crossing. There
are 39 stops, most being 32.2 m (106 ft) long. They are virtually level with the doors and are all wider than 2 m (6
ft 7 in). This allows wheelchairs, prams, pushchairs and the elderly to board the tram easily with no steps. In street
sections, the stop is integrated with the pavement.

CURRENT SYSTEM

Tramlink uses some former main-line stations on the WimbledonWest Croydon and Elmers EndCoombe Lane
stretches of line. The railway platforms have been demolished and rebuilt to Tramlink specications, except at Elmers
End and Wimbledon where the track level was raised to meet the higher main-line platforms to enable cross-platform
interchange.
Thirty-eight stops opened in the phased introduction of tram services in May 2000. Centrale tram stop in Tamworth
Road opened on 10 December 2005, increasing journey times slightly. As turnround times were already quite tight
this raised the issue of buying an extra tram to maintain punctuality. Partly for this reason but also to take into
account the planned restructuring of services (subsequently introduced in July 2006), TfL issued tenders for a new
tram. However, nothing resulted from this.
All stops have disabled access, raised paving, CCTV, a Passenger Help Point, a Passenger Information Display (PID),
litter bins, a ticket machine, a noticeboard and lamp-posts, and most also have seats and a shelter.
The PIDs display the destinations and expected arrival times of the next two trams. They can also display any message
the controllers want to display, such as information on delays or even instructions to vandals to stop placing objects
on the track.

2.2

Routes

Tram 2545 in original livery at Beckenham Junction in 2001.

Since 1 June 2016 Tramlink has been shown on the principal tube map, having previously appeared only on the
London Connections map. The original routes were Line 1 Wimbledon to Elmers End, Line 2 Croydon to Beckenham
Junction, and Line 3 Croydon to New Addington.[12] On 23 July 2006 the network was restructured, with route 1
from Elmers End to Croydon, route 2 from Beckenham Junction to Croydon and route 3 from New Addington to
Wimbledon. In June 2012 route 4 from Therapia Lane to Elmers End was introduced. Monday 4 April 2016, route
4 was extended from Therapia Lane to Wimbledon.[13]

2.3

Change in route colours

2.3

Change in route colours

When TfL took over a new network map was designed, combining Routes 1 and 2 as one service, coloured Trams
Green (lime). (Originally, Line 1 was yellow, Line 2 red, and Line 3 a darker (District line) green.[12] ) Trams from
Elmers End on Route 1 change their numbers in central Croydon to Route 2 (Beckenham Junction) and the reverse
in the other direction, but this is likely to change in light of the introduction of Route 4.

2.4

Fares and ticketing

TfL Bus Passes are valid on Tramlink, as are Travelcards that include any of zones 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Cash fares and pay-as-you-go Oyster Card fares are the same as on London Buses, although special fares may apply
when using Tramlink feeder buses.
When using Oyster Cards, passengers must touch in on the platform before boarding the tram. Special arrangements
apply at Wimbledon station, where the Tramlink stop is within the National Rail and London Underground station,
where Tramlink passenger must touch in at the station entry barriers then again at the Tramlink platform to inform
the system that no tube journey has been made.

Feeder buses

Bus routes T31, T32 and T33 used to connect with Tramlink at the New Addington, Fieldway and Addington Village
stops. T31 and T32 no longer run, and T33 has been renamed 433.

Main articles: CR4000 and Croydon Variobahn

Tramlink is operated with 34 passenger vehicles.[14] The original eet comprised 24 articulated low oor Flexity
Swift CR4000 trams built by Bombardier Transportation in Vienna numbered beginning at 2530, continuing from
the highest-numbered tram 2529 on Londons former tram network, which closed in 1952. In 2006, the CR4000
eet was refurbished, with the bus-like destination blinds being replaced by an electronic dot system. In 2009 the
eet was repainted into a new green livery.[15]
In January 2011, Tramtrack Croydon opened a tender for the supply of ten new or second-hand trams from the end
of summer 2011.[16] The trams will be used between Therapia Lane and Elmers End.[17][18] On 18 August 2011, TfL
announced that Stadler Rail had won a 16 million contract to supply six Variobahn trams similar to those used by
Bybanen in Bergen, Norway.[18] They entered service in 2012.[19] In August 2013, TfL ordered an additional four
Variotrams for delivery in 2015, for use on the Wimbledon to Croydon link, an order which was later increased to
six. This brought the total Variotram eet up to ten in 2015,[19][20] and twelve in 2016 when the nal two trams were
delivered.[14]

4.1

Engineering vehicles

Engineers vehicles used in Tramlink construction were hired for that purpose. In November 2006 Croydon Tramlink
purchased ve second-hand engineering vehicles from Deutsche Bundesbahn. These were two DB class Klv 53
engineers trams (numbered 058 and 059 in Tramline service), and three 4-wheel wagons (numbered 060, 061, and
062).[22] Service tram 058 and trailer 061 were both sold to the National Tramway Museum in 2010.

Future developments

5.1

Projected extensions

The Mayors Transport Strategy for London states that extensions to the network could be developed at relatively
modest cost where there is potential demand from existing and new development to support concentrated passenger
movements, and where Tramlink technology might be cost eective. Proposal 4D7 says that The Mayor will explore
the potential for extending the Tramlink network where doing so could help meet the objectives of the Transport
Strategy cost eectively[23] and sought initial views on the viability of a number of extensions by summer 2002.

Other extension proposals include Lewisham, Bromley town centre, Biggin Hill Airport/Village and a local spur/loop

Starting in the west, there are two corridors into Sutton town centre. The rst, principally between Wimbledon and
Sutton, was in view even before Tramlink opened: the trams were delivered with this as line 4 on their destination
blinds.

5.2

Extension D / Route 5

Tramlink route 5 is the only extension being formally developed, linking Harrington Road with Crystal Palace, and
Crystal Palace with Beckenham Junction, both terminating at Crystal Palace Parade. There were three options on
how to get to the Parade: on-street, o-street and a mixture of the two.[24] Following recent consultation the ostreet option is favoured, with trams running along existing railway as far as Crystal Palace Station, and then round
the western edge of Crystal Palace Park (within the parks perimeter) to the bus terminus near the parade. TfL has

stated that due to lack of funding the plans for this extension will not be taken forward,[25] but also says that it is
committed to including new proposals for extensions to the tram as part of a future bid to Government.

5.3

Extension A

The Sutton to Wimbledon proposal utilises the existing line between Wimbledon and Morden Road, but the cramped
terminus inside Wimbledon station is barely adequate for its present function. If another service is to serve Wimbledon
a new terminus will be needed. Diverging from the present route, the Sutton line might adopt a segregated alignment
within the highway along Morden Road, serving Morden station interchange. It would probably use Aberconway
Road to reach Morden Hall Road before using the spacious St Helier Avenue as the direct route to St Helier, Rose
Hill. St Helier Hospital is an important local trac objective, despite the need to deviate from the direct route into
Sutton via Angel Hill. A number of variants in Sutton Town centre are to be examined to see how the shopping centre,
station and oce complex can be accessed. The alignment is served by busy bus routes and would give Tramlink
direct with the Northern line at Morden. A south-to-east curve may also be considered at Morden Road to permit
direct links from St Helier to Mitcham and Croydon.[26]
In July 2013, Mayor Boris Johnson armed that there is a reasonable business case for Tramlink to cover the Wimbledon - Sutton corridor. A map has been released showing the planned route. It would leave the existing route just
to the east of Morden Road and head along the A24 and A297 to Rosehill Roundabout, then the B2230 through
Sutton town centre, ending at the station. A loop via St Helier Hospital and a possible extension to Royal Marsden
Hospital also are shown. Stops would be at Morden Hall, Ivy Lodge, Boxley Road, Langdon Road, Middleton Road,
Rosehill Roundabout, St Helier Hospital (on loop), Rosehill Park, Sutton Tennis Centre, Angel Hill, Sutton Green,
High Street North, Crown Road (northbound only), St Nicholas Road (northbound only), Throwley Way (southbound
only) and Sutton Station[27]

5.4

5.4

Extension B

11

Extension B

The other Sutton proposal, to Tooting, is more ambitious and contains many more challenges than Sutton/Wimbledon
link. Apart from workshop/depot facilities and a curve required to link the line into the existing system, this extension
would share no infrastructure with it. If line 4 is realised ahead of this proposal, the Tooting line would have the St
Helier to Sutton section in common. North of St Helier, the alignment is likely to t across parkland and open space
to take in the Willow Lane Industrial Estate before serving Mitcham town centre. There would be some commonality
here with the short separate proposal for a spur from Mitcham Junction to Mitcham town centre. From here, the
extension would seek to use the pedestrianised town centre before sharing the carriageway with all trac in London
Road south of Figges Marsh, with room for segregation beyond the junction with Streatham Road. The most dicult
leg arises immediately the Merton/Wandsworth boundary is crossed and the most eective way of reaching Tooting
Broadway from this point will stir much debate.

5.5

North and south from Croydon

A tram travelling on Church Street, Croydon town centre

To the north and south of Croydon are some busy bus corridors, which derive from earlier tram routes. These include
the Purley Croydon Streatham corridor, which is proposed for conversion to tram operation.[28][29]
To the south of Croydon, the proposal is for the new route to diverge from the central Croydon loop and use a
highway alignment, probably South End and Brighton Road, to Purley. Beyond Purley, an extension to Coulsdon will
be investigated. As this would be close to the M23 motorway, a possibility would be the construction of a park and
ride site. Finding a good alignment will be more dicult south of Purley, where Brighton Road is the A23 trunk
road.[29]
To the north of Croydon, it is proposed to use a highway alignment based on London Road. To the south of Thornton
Heath Pond, the use of a shared carriageway is a possibility. North of this point the road becomes the A23 again,
but there are likely to be some opportunities for trambaan type segregation to Norbury and between Norbury and
Streatham, although Norbury is a pinch point. The proposal is to terminate the line at Streatham railway station,

providing an interchange to the extended East London Line.[29]

5.6

Other extensions

Work currently commissioned will investigate proposals to extend to Biggin Hill, Bromley town centre, Lewisham,
and Purley Way. If initial examination shows promise, further work could follow to rm up more detailed routings.[30]

Accidents and incidents

On 7 September 2008, a bus on route 468 travelled through a red trac signal and collided with tram 2534 in George
Street, Croydon. The impact caused the death of a passenger who was reported to have been thrown through the
upper front window of the bus.[31][32] The driver of the bus was convicted of causing death by dangerous driving a
year later in December 2009 and was sentenced to 4 years in prison.[33]
On 13 September 2008, tram 2530 collided with a cyclist at Morden Hall Park footpath crossing between the Morden
Road and Phipps Bridge tram stops. The cyclist sustained injuries and later died.[34]
On 5 April 2011, a woman tripped over and was dragged under a moving tram. She was taken to hospital in a serious
condition. She is believed to have been running to catch the tram outside East Croydon Station when she tripped and
fell.[35]
On 9 November 2016, tram 2551 derailed on a sharp curved junction 180 metres (590 ft) east from the Sandilands
tram stop, killing seven people and injuring at least 50 more. The British Transport Police arrested the driver on
suspicion of manslaughter. The cause was under investigation, but was widely reported as excessive speed.[36][37]

Onboard announcements

The onboard announcements are by BBC News reader (and tram enthusiast) Nicholas Owen.[38] The announcement
pattern is as follows: e.g. This tram is for Wimbledon, The next stop will be Merton Park.
