TRACK replacement work will mean reduced services for Tramlink passengers later this month.

Some stops will be closed while Transport for London carries out the work, which will run from August 21 to August 30.

During this time trams from Wimbledon will run every ten minutes during peak times and will start and finish at Reeves Corner.

Trams from New Addington, Elmers End and Beckenham Junction will terminate at East Croydon.

George Street, Church Street, Centrale, West Croydon and Wellesley Road tram stops will be closed.

The Elmers End stop will close early on Friday August 20 at 7pm and be closed all day on August 22 and 29.

Valid tickets will be accepted on bus services between East Croydon and Reeves Corner, and on buses towards Elmers End when this stop is closed.

A TfL spokesman said: "Tramlink is now ten years old and the works are needed to replace rails nearing the end of their working life.

"We would like to thank in advance Croydon residents and tram passengers for their patience. We have taken every step possible to minimise inconvenience to them."
