The section of Route 3 between Wimbledon and West Croydon follows the old single-track British Rail route for the most part, which was closed on 31 May 1997 so that it could be converted for Tramlink.

OS / 2 is still used on ticket machines for Croydon Tramlink in outer-London ( UK ).

The borough also has several stops on the London Tramlink network.

Manchester Metrolink and Croydon Tramlink both rely on ticket machines at stops.

Transport for London were also proposing to extend Tramlink from Harrington Road through Anerley to the bus station on Crystal Palace Parade, with three possible routes.

As London's trams operate on the same fare structure as buses, the rules are similar and users with pre-pay must touch the Oyster card only once at the point of boarding ( users with Travelcards valid for the Tramlink zones need not touch in ).

They must then touch their Oyster card once again on the card reader on the Tramlink platform to confirm their journey as a tram passenger.

Travel is free at all times on the Tube, DLR, buses and Tramlink, and after 09: 30 on some National Rail routes within London.

A proposed line alternative through Birkbeck station from Crystal Palace railway station to Beckenham Junction was considered for conversion to a Tramlink route but Transport for London has dropped the plan on the grounds that the existing rail service is adequate.

The railway platforms have been demolished and rebuilt to Tramlink specifications, except at Elmers End and Wimbledon where the track level was raised to meet the higher main line platforms, to enable cross-platform interchange.

Part of platform 10 was utilised for the single track terminus of Tramlink route 3 and rail tracks and infrastructure were replaced with those for the tram system.

Tramlink serves seven National Rail stations and has one interchange with the London Underground, at Wimbledon station for the District Line, and one with London Overground, at West Croydon for the East London Line ; one of the factors leading to its creation was that the area around Croydon has no Underground service.

In 1990 Croydon Council with the then London Regional Transport ( LRT ) put the project to Parliament and the Croydon Tramlink Act 1994 resulted, which gave LRT the power to build and run Tramlink.

It is situated just to the northeast of central Croydon, and is home to a high proportion of people who commute to Central London, owing to its proximity to the busy East Croydon railway station and Tramlink, linking Addiscombe with other parts of Croydon and Wimbledon, as well as extensive bus routes into Central Croydon and surrounding areas.
