Tramlink
Tramlink provides a fast, frequent and reliable connection to and through a number of areas in south London, including Croydon and Wimbledon. Since June 2008 Tramlink has been owned and managed by Transport for London (TfL).
As part of TfL’s commitment to the tram network we have embarked on a major investment programme. As a result service will be suspended over various sections between 23 July and 31 August. However, we are proud to be partnering the Croydon Summer Festival and to demonstrate our support we will be running a full service for the weekend of the 1st & 2nd August.
