Croydon Tramlink drivers eye view

Fifteen years after the return of trams to London, the Croydon Tramlink has established itself as a highly successful modern transport system, carrying over 32 million passengers in 2014/2015 alone. The network operates four main routes, connecting Wimbledon in the south with Croydon town centre, Beckenham Junction, Elmers End, and New Addington, providing fast and frequent services across south London.

This DVD offers a driver’s-eye perspective of the entire Tramlink system from the cab of tram 2543. Beginning with a tour of the main depot at Therapia Lane, viewers then follow the tram as it travels through every route, showcasing the network in full operational detail.

Filmed in July 2015 with the full cooperation of Tramlink, the journey includes every station, junction, and tunnel along the system. Highlights include the intricately interlaced track near Mitcham, the 512-metre Sandilands tunnels, high-speed running on the Addington line, and even a rare traversal of the centre track at East Croydon, providing a truly comprehensive view of the network.

Combining operational insight with detailed route coverage, this Driver’s Eye View DVD captures the excitement and efficiency of the Croydon Tramlink. It offers both tram enthusiasts and general viewers an immersive experience of one of London’s most important modern transport systems.
