London's Tram Surprise: The Tramlink
While London is famous for its iconic red double-decker buses and the extensive London Underground (tube) network, many visitors might be surprised to learn it also boasts a tram system.
Modern Light Rail:
The Tramlink, operational since 2000, is a light rail system serving south London, primarily focusing on the Croydon area. Unlike the historic trams that disappeared from London streets in the 1950s, the Tramlink is a modern system with sleek trams and a mix of street-level tracks, dedicated tramways, and off-street sections.
Connecting Communities:
The Tramlink network consists of 39 stops along roughly 28 kilometers (17 miles) of track. It connects various suburbs and central Croydon, offering a convenient and scenic alternative to buses for local residents. Tourists venturing south of the River Thames can also utilize the Tramlink to explore Croydon and its surrounding areas.
A Link to Other Transport:
The Tramlink integrates seamlessly with other London transport options. Passengers can easily transfer between Tramlink stops and National Rail services, the London Underground at Wimbledon station, and various bus routes.
So, next time you're exploring London, keep an eye out for the Tramlink! It might be a delightful surprise and a convenient way to navigate south London.
