Platform 3 at East Croydon has been closed temporarily to allow for more works to take place under the banner of the local council’s Connecting Croydon project. As a result all westbound trams travelling through East Croydon are now using the centre platform – platform 2 – with eastbound services unaffected and still using platform 1.

Interesting to see the dedicated tram road sign for closed track. What are they doing there that requires the track closure?
