London Tramlink in Croydon

Today we are in Croydon, which is a major town in south London. Croydon operates a tram network, which links Wimbledon in the west with Beckenham, Elmers End, and New Addington in the east. The network only began operating fairly recently in 2000 and it uses two types of trams: 24 Flexity Swift CR4000 vehicles, built by Bombardier, and an additional 12 Stadler Variobahn vehicles, which are actually very similar to the ones used in Bergen, Norway.
In the centre of Croydon, trams follow a loop, connecting George street with West Croydon and East Croydon railway stations. This film mostly follows this tram loop on a dismal and drizzly winter afternoon.
Enjoy!

I love Croydon! It's so amazing with the trams I love taking. And by the way, buses are also a reliable way but I think the Overground is the best service on the planet. Make more trams, TfL, I want your city to be very unique. Make tram stops in Central London.

I find it funny how the CR4000 trams have the line number to the right of the destination "Wimbledon 3", while the Variobahnen have it on the left "4 Therapia Lane". I visited London over Easter and our hotel was directly next to Wellesley Road tram stop, sadly it was closed when we were there

Comrade Charlotte they had double decker trams!?!?!??!?!?!?! That’s fucking awesome, nowadays theres fucking health and safety u have to pay like 30 quid for an open bus which used to be free and used daily
@grassytramtracks
@grassytramtracks Год назад
Articulated trams are far superior. Double decker models are largely a relic when trying to join different sections was more difficult. Articulated trams load and unload faster, don't have stairs to go up and down, and can carry more people (no standing on the top level), and are guided by the track anyway
@grassytramtracks
@grassytramtracks Год назад
​​@@brokenbritain1930 it has nothing to do with health and safety (after all, we have double decker buses) and all to do with practicality, and the reason you have to pay more for open top buses is because they're only used for tourist buses. Why are they not used for regular bus runs? Because rain exists. The rain means that the bus will fill with water which will corrode the bus, and no one will want to ride on the top when it's cold or raining, which means that half the time no one will want to go up there

They built a light rail system not a city! Croydon is a bit older than Tramlink and given the topography, an overhead system would certainly have been like a roller coaster - not a lot of good for most passengers!
@johnorchard4
@johnorchard4 4 года назад
That's because of the law. This is a light rail system and is governed by the Railway Inspectorate - they do put a lot of store by Health and Safety. Those who do not are generally either reckless, or simply not the people who have to take the responsibility when things go horribly wrong.
