Elmers End Set for Tramlink Upgrade

Trams will be running through to Wimbledon from Elmers End under new plans unveiled recently.

Transport for London (TfL) are building an new ‘loop’ into the network in Croydon. As a result of the increased capacity it will provide, TfL will be able to run six trams per hour each from Elmers End and Beckenham Junction, running all the way through Croydon to Wimbledon. A  further two trams per hour will run from Elmers End to Croydon along the current route. Currently no trams from either station run further than Therapia Lane (with Beckenham trams only reaching Croydon town centre).

The changes are expected to take effect in 2019.
