	Tramlink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tramlink (until recently known as Croydon Tramlink) is a public transport system in south London, operated by FirstGroup on behalf of Transport for London.
		Tramlink meets National Rail lines at a number of stations, but because it runs in an area relatively under-served by the London Underground (one of the reasons for its creation), its only interchange with the Underground is at Wimbledon.
		Tramlink is operated with articulated low-floor Flexity Swift CR-4000 trams built by Bombardier Transportation in Vienna.

		Croydon’s last day of service for the "old" trams was 7 April 1951 (routes 16 & 18 from Embankment to Purley and 42 from Thornton Heath to South Croydon) and the last day of service in London as a whole was 5 July 1952.
		Tramlink is just allowed to squeeze into platform 10 of the station and the one tram-long available portion of the platform extends under the overbridge so is in a dark and gloomy location.
		Operation around Croydon town centre appeared to be mostly smooth and the congestion at West Croydon stop/bus station seems to have eased adequately.

	Tramlink
		To ensure the theme of the day was maintained, John explained that as part of that railway had been used for 'Tramlink' services, the latter could arguably be described as based on the oldest public railway in the world.
		Although final abandonment was deferred by the war and subsequent post war shortages, Croydon said goodbye to the tram on 17th April 1951 - or so it was thought at the time.
		It was at this point that the cause of earlier "blues and twos" became apparent, with trams from the east terminating at East Croydon.

		Croydon Tramlink is not the first tram system in Croydon - old London trams used to run through the town along the A23 which was London Road, North End and High Street.
		Some amendments were made and the Croydon Tramlink Act received Royal Assent on 21st July 1994 giving London Regional Transport (LRT) the legal power to build and run Tramlink.
		Whilst Parliament were considering the bill, Croydon Council, LT and three private companies worked together to start the design process.

		Croydon Tramlink, a flagship £200m project viewed as a model for urban transport reform, has only enough cash left to run for seven weeks.
		Tramtrack Croydon, the firm which runs the trams, is seeking a financial restructuring to stave off a cash crisis which has lumbered the company with £100m of debts.
		Tramtrack Croydon was in 1996 awarded a 99-year contract to build and run Tramlink, which opened in May 2000 as "state-of-the-art public transport".

	Croydon Tramlink
		The important outer-London Borough of Croydon has developed significantly in recent years as a one of the major commercial and shopping centres of the south-east, and although served well by radial railway services has relied for fifty years solely on buses for internal transport.
		Croydon itself was served by horse trams from 1879 to 1901, and then by electric cars.
		A study undertaken by London Transport and British Rail, in association with the Borough of Croydon, concluded in 1990 that a modern tram system would be a realistic proposal for the area, to help stem the growth of motor traffic whilst preserving accessibility.

		This led London Transport and Croydon Council to submit the Croydon Tramlink Bill to Parliament in November 1991 as a private member’s procedure and this was finally approved on 21 July 1994 after the third reading.
		The trams used on Tramlink were built by Bombardier (who are part of the Tramtrack Croydon Ltd group) in Austria and are designated CR-4000, based on the K-4000 trams of Cologne, Germany.
		There can be little doubting that Croydon Tramlink has been a success for the people and businesses of the areas of South London that it serves, despite what others may want you to believe.

		I guess this is one of the reasons why Croydon Tramlink is sometimes referred to as "a new tram service in London" while when I was there I had the feeling of beeing in a completly different city...
		If you arrive to West Croydon by train, what you'll see is the giant loop section of the Tramlink network, where all three routes share the tracks in one direction.
		Intermodal interchange: I believe much of the success of the Croydon Tramlink comes from planning - there are interchange points for the railway at many stops (apart from Wimbledon: Mitcham Junction, West Croydon, East Croydon, Birkbeck, Beckenham Junction, Elmers End), so trams can be well-integrated part of the giant London transportation system.

	Croydon Tramlink
		Tramlink was built under a PFI scheme and is operated by a joint venture between Amey and an offshore company.
		A study of the impact of the Croydon Tramlink scheme was published last year.
		The Croydon Tramlink operates mainly on old rail lines or new private rights of way, but part of it also operates on the street and it is seen to contribute to congestion in South Croydon (tram breakdowns can also cause major traffic difficulties, and it certainly created many problems during the period of construction).

	Croydon Tramlink - The Interview
		Croydon Tramlink is the first street-running tramway and light rail system in the Greater London conurbation in the modern era.
		Tramlink is not quite the same as this in all respects but it is clearly closely specified, we expect to be monitored, both by LT and the operating company expects the concession company to monitor too and none of that's a problem in the environment that we're in.
		I believe Croydon Council now think that wasn't as comprehensive as they would have liked and we have been asked what are the implications of replacing some of the H-section masts with circular poles in the conservation area.

	CULG - Croydon Tramlink
		Croydon Tramlink is a new light railway in the south of London, involving a mixture of dedicated alignment and on-street running.
		The Croydon area has good rail service to and from inner London, but the non-radial arrangements are poor - there is not even rail service between the two main stations in Croydon.
		The Wimbledon to West Croydon line was opened by the Wimbledon and Croydon Railway in 1855, and has remained in service ever since, being absorbed into the LBSCR, and thus into the SR and BR.

	House of Commons - Environment, Transport and Regional Affairs - Eighth Report
		TCL felt that Tramlink, as well as other light rail and tram projects, is particularly important for addressing suburban transport problems, especially on the orbital routes where congestion is most severe.
		A particular lesson TCL has learnt from its experience in Croydon is that the long timescales involved with developing schemes like Tramlink mean that it is vitally important to gain local cross-party support for projects, since elections will inevitably occur during the development of the project.
		TCL concedes that the circumstances in Croydon which favoured the development of light rail, such as the existence of major traffic generators and the potential to convert lightly-used or disused heavy rail lines, might be atypical.

		This obviously raises questions about this type of PFI arrangement (Tramlink is expected to repay some £100m construction costs from its profits) but also the viability of new tram schemes generally.
