Building a Stronger Croydon, Together | One Community. Two Associations. One Vision.

Good morning, Croydon. Today marks day one of Transport for London's crucial 24-day engineering works across our town centre, bringing a temporary pause to tram services through the heart of our borough from Thursday 06/08/2026 to Sunday 30/08/2026. Upgrade works on approximately 770 metres of vital track between Reeves Corner and East Croydon mean five central stops, Centrale, Church Street, George Street, Wellesley Road, and West Croydon, are temporarily closed, while services to Elmers End are also affected during the works, according to the latest reporting by Inside Croydon.

Trams continue to run on outer branches, connecting Wimbledon to Reeves Corner, and East Croydon to both New Addington and Beckenham Junction. To keep our high street buzzing, you are best off planning ahead, using frequent local buses, or walking through the town centre where possible. Check live travel updates directly via Transport for London before setting off.
