	Tramlink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tramlink (until recently known as Croydon Tramlink) is a public transport tramway 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.

		The radio system is vital to the effective running of the system and allows the Therapia Lane Control Room to communicate to a tram driver, to an operative on foot using a hand portable or to an operative driving one of the three road vehicles easily and clearly.
		However because Tramlink has only three frequencies (one of which is used for controlling the channel selection and base station operation) it is difficult to take full advantage of the system's capabilities.
		Tramlink uses these for communicating with some staff during incidents, for communications between Revenue Inspectors and for Back Up purposes on the Beckenham Line.

	Christian Wolmar :: Croydon Tramlink quietly renationalised
		The Tramlink was built by a consortium of five companies including a subsidiary of FirstGroup, the Royal Bank of Scotland and, in partnership, Sir Robert McAlpine and Amey.
		It was one of the early PFI deals, with central government funding Â£125m of the overall cost of around Â£200m, and the consortium was given a 99 year concession to recoup their investment.
		Tramlink was very successful in attracting customers but despite that it made little money for the consortium.

	Croydon Tramlink
		Tramlink was built under a PFI scheme and is operated by a joint venture between Amey and an offshore company.
		Ken Livingstone is pushing ahead with proposals for trams in other areas such as West London (where it would run down a main road and occupy normal road space for part of the way, much to the annoyance of local residents and businesses).
		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).

	Tramlink
		John Gent, the first speaker gave an illustrated presentation showing rail transport from the days of the Surrey Iron Railway that ran between Wandsworth and Croydon from its opening in 1803 until closure in 1896.
		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.
		John went on to focus on the development of the tram from early horse drawn vehicles, through experimental battery powered vehicles to the arrival of electrification in 1901.
