illustrates the tram fleet.
Following a study in 1987, the Croydon Tramlink Parliamntary Bill was deposited in 1991. Construction started in 1996, using a significant amount of former railway alignment, rail services from Wimbledon to Mitchem, and to Elmers End ceasing in 1997. On the section from Birkbeck to Beckenham Junction, the line was singled so the tramway could run in parallel. Public services on the three lines started during May 2000. Initially the three routes were Route 1: Wimbledon-Croydon-Elmers End, Route 2: Croydon-Beckenham Junction and Route 3: Croydon-New Addington, all three routes circumnavigating Croydon town centre in a clockwise direction. From 2006, routes were revised so that Route 3 trams from New Addington continued through to Wimbledon (in place of Route 1). 2007 weekday off peak frequencies are every 10 minutes on Routes 1 and 2, and every 7.5 minutes on the through Wimbledon-New Addington Route 3. The unofficial tramlink site

contains a set of timetables from the inauguration to current.
