Tram Links
Pitched as the 'Greener' transport system with electrically powered trams which are both energy and space efficient and will greatly increase the passenger capacity of key routes.
The Trams, are 30 metres long, the length of six cars but carry over 200 people, nearly 3 times as many as a double decker bus.
Route
The majority of the 28km tramlink route runs along former or abandoned BR rail track although some runs on existing highways and new rights of way, mostly alongside existing roads. The complete system comprises a one-way route around central Croydon and three branches radiating to Wimbledon, Beckenham Jct/Elmers End and New Addington. The Beckenham Jct route only goes to Croydon; from there, you need to change trams to go on to the links or Wimbledon, Elmers End or New Addington.
The tramlink also links up with the London underground at Wimbledon and will interchange with bus services at many stops.
Tickets
Tickets can be obtained from special ticket machines at the Tram link platforms.
