Addiscombe

Addiscombe tram stop stands in the London Borough of Croydon, a southern suburb of London. The stop sits between Bingham Road and Lower Addiscombe Road, where trams now run at street level. Before trams, the site held Bingham Road Halt on a railway closed in 1915. The Croydon–Addiscombe electric tram service ended in 1927, and a later railway station opened in 1935 but closed in 1983. The tram stop occupies ground once crossed by railway bridges over the roads. The stop is served by London Buses routes 289, 312 and 367 at nearby stops. Passengers can change between trams and buses for free within an hour under Transport for London’s Hopper fare. Trams run every ten minutes off-peak in both directions. Services link Beckenham Junction and Elmers End with Wimbledon using low-floor Bombardier CR4000 and Stadler Variobahn trams. Visitors find a modern light rail stop with level crossings replacing old railway bridges. The area around the stop is residential, with shops and bus connections close by. The stop provides a quiet way to reach Croydon town centre or Wimbledon. Its location reflects the area’s transport history, now adapted for today’s tram network.
