BEWARE TRAMS is not a sign frequently seen in Britain which does not unfortunately share the same enthusiasm
for them as on the Continent. Manchester, Sheffield and Nottingham plus the long eastablished Blackpool trams
join this network Tramlink as seen from one here in Croydon South London. Other proposed schemes
may in the future be added to these but there is often considerable opposition to them initially in addition to finding the
money. Once in place though I think the travelling public take to them being both efficient and fast...I clocked ours doing 80 KPH
around 50 MPH...the date August 10th 2006.

A pedestrian level crossing is the usual means of crossing between platforms on the Tramlink system. This one at Mordon Road is a typical example.

Looking west at Morden Road Tramlink stop from the pedestrian level crossing between the platforms. Trams towards Wimbledon call at the left hand platform while the right hand platform is served by trams en route to Croydon. Like all the other stops on the network, the platforms at Morden Road are 350mm above the height of the rail - matching the floor height of the trams.

This tram pictured near E.Croydon Station in the Spring of 2003 features an advertising livery. Trams are much less common in GB than on mainland Europe...but they are making a comeback.
This is part of the Wimbledon Tramlink which is South of London. There is a possibility that they may eventually return to more central parts of the Capital, which saw its last tram in the early 1950s.
