London Trams to close for 13 days of engineering works

Summarised from This Is Local London's report · Updated 22 Oct, 06:08 · Archive

London Trams services will close for 13 days from October 24 to November 5 for essential maintenance and infrastructure improvements.

London Tram services will be suspended for 13 days from Saturday, October 24, to Thursday, November 5, during the October half-term for essential maintenance and infrastructure improvements. Three sections of the network will be affected: East Croydon to Beckenham Junction, East Croydon to Elmers End, and East Croydon to New Addington. The western section of the network, between Wimbledon and East Croydon, will continue to operate normally.

Transport for London is operating two replacement bus routes to help passengers complete their journeys. The T2 service will run between Wellesley Road and Beckenham Junction, serving East Croydon, Addiscombe, Blackhorse Lane, Arena, Elmers End, Birkbeck, and Beckenham Road. The T3 service will run between Wellesley Road and New Addington, serving East Croydon, Lloyd Park, Coombe Lane, Gravel Hill, Addington Village Interchange, Fieldway, and King Henry's Drive, although the T3 will not serve Gravel Hill towards New Addington between October 24 and November 1.

Passengers are advised to allow additional travelling time as replacement buses may take longer than usual tram journeys. Normal services are expected to resume on Friday, November 6, subject to the completion of the planned works.
