Transport for LondonTramlink starts revamp
We are pleased to be able to reduce waiting times
Transport for London (TfL) will be increasing the frequency of trams on the Beckenham Junction and Elmers End routes.
Trams on these routes will now run every 15 minutes in the evenings and on Sundays.
Previously, there was a 30 minute wait for these trams.
Ian Brown, Managing Director of TfL London Rail, said: 'We are pleased to be able to reduce waiting times so soon after taking over Tramlink.
'These apparently small improvements will make a big difference for our passengers.
'We are also working on a number of other upgrades,' he said, 'including refurbishing trams and stops and improving policing on the network.'
TfL bought Tramlink Croydon Ltd on 28 June this year.
Passengers had been surveyed in May, just before the takeover, and 28 per cent of those interviewed said they wanted the trams to run more often.
