The forthcoming October half-term school holidays will again see another set of engineering works taking place on the London Trams network, this time it’s the eastern section which will be impacted with no trams running beyond East Croydon for almost two weeks.
The works will start on Saturday 24th October and continue through until Thursday 5th November and will mean no service will run:
- East Croydon to Beckenham Junction
- East Croydon to Elmers End
- East Croydon to New Addington
Trams will continue to operate from the Wimbledon line to East Croydon.
Two different replacement buses will operate:
- T2: Wellesley Road-East Croydon-Addiscombe-Blackhorse Lane-Arena-Elmers End-Elmers End Station-Birkbeck-Beckenham Road-Beckenham Junction
- T3: Wellesley Road-East Croydon-Lloyd Park-Coombe Lane-Gravel Hill (not served towards New Addington 24th October to 1st November)-Addington Village Interchange-Fieldway-King Henrys Drive-New Addington
During this closure work to take place will include major work on Kent Gateway, close to Addington Village tramstop. This is part of the continued modernisation programme and will also see some road closures and diversions in place. Work is scheduled to take place 24 hours a day to ensure it is completed quicker.
