All photos were taken on 24th November 2007 and feature locations such as Ampere Way, Beddington Lane, Belgrave Walk, Centrale, Dundonald Road, Mitcham, Mitcham Junction, Morden Road, Reeves Corner, Therapia Lane, Waddon Marsh, Wandle Park and Wimbledon. As ever you can access the photos by using the links at either the top or bottom of the page.

2538 leaving Reeves Corner en route to New Addington on route 3. This is the oddest stop on the system as it has a platform on one side only. Trams towards Wimbledon call at Church Street stop, a few yards back on the single-track loop through the town centre which is also served by trams to Elmers End and Beckenham Junction. The other odd thing is that trams from Wimbledon to New Addington serve West Croydon but not in the reverse direction, West Croydon to Wimbledon passengers having to either travel all the way round the loop and change at East Croydon or else walk down Tamworth Road to Church Street against the oncoming trams.

2540 leaving Ampere Way en route to New Addington on route 3. This is one of the busiest stops on Tramlink as it serves the IKEA store and several other retail outlets and is situated alongside bus stops making for easy interchange.
