We have one final stop in Central Croydon to feature in “Stop by Stop” as our journey on London Trams continues. That stop is Reeves Corner.
The direction we’ve been taking this journey means that Reeves Corner is a bit out of order as coming from central Croydon onto the Wimbledon line there isn’t actually a stop here. Reeves Corner is a single direction platform and is only served by trams going towards Croydon with the Wimbledon bound track not having a platform here (although Church Street is just a short walk away for anyone wanting this area of Croydon).
Reeves Corner stop is located on Cairo New Road with the A326 Roman Way looming large overhead. It is the last section of double track until trams get back onto George Street heading towards East Croydon, although it is preceded by single track as the line comes over the railway.
The stop is as we have come to expect and also forms part of the pavement for people going about their daily business.
2565 arrives at Reeves Corner bound for Beckenham Junction. As we see here the Wimbledon bound track has no platform and does share this section with other road traffic but that turns off just before the tram goes onto a reserved section of track which leaves to the raised track which goes over the railway.
