For the last time in this series of \u201cPicture in Time\u201d we are going to South London for a photo of the Croydon Tramlink system in 2008.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2535<\/strong> is the only of the CR4000 trams to have carried a name with it receiving the name \u201cSTEPHEN PARASCANDOLO 1980-2007\u201d in a special ceremony at Beckenham Junction on Sunday 21st<\/sup> October 2007. Stephen was the webmaster of the Unofficial Croydon Tramlink website who died after a road accident earlier that year. When seen in this photo the tram had been carrying the name for less than a year (its carried at the opposite end of the tram) but to this day the name is still in situ.<\/p>\n

This is Arena where the tram has just arrived from Elmers End and will continue its journey into central Croydon from here. 2535<\/strong> had been delivered to Therapia Lane on 30th<\/sup> November 1998.<\/p>\n
