Tramlink route 4 is a proposed tram route which will be operated as part of the Tramlink network in south London. The route will be operated by Tramtrack Croydon and First Group on behalf of Transport for London (TfL).

Background

This is currently the only extension being developed. The proposed routes link Harrington Road stop with Crystal Palace, and Crystal Palace directly with Beckenham Junction, both terminating at Crystal Palace Parade. There are three options on how to get to the Parade: on-street, off-street and a mixture of the two. Following recent consultation the off-street option is favoured, with trams running along existing railway as far as Crystal Palace Station, and then running round the western edge of Crystal Palace Park (within the current park's perimeter) to the bus terminus near the parade.
