Croydon tram stops added to London Tube map

Transport for London is set to quite literally put Croydon on the map in June when it adds tram services to the Underground map for the first time.
The new design intends to make it easier for people travelling to the borough, as well as Wimbledon and Beckenham, to plan their journeys with the tram lines added in the network's distinctive green.
Since the new tram platform at Wimbledon was completed last year the number of trams running between Wimbledon and Croydon has increased by 50 percent.



In February this year TfL also introduced four new trams to make a total of 34 carrying passengers around the network.

The new Underground map also shows where and when major upgrade works will take place on the London Overground route between Gospel Oak and Barking, as part of Network Rail's Railway Upgrade Plan.
The latest stations with step-free access have been added to the map and will continue to be updated as more stations are improved.
Customers will begin to see the latest Tube map in stations throughout the next week, and it will be available to view online, along with other transport maps produced by TfL, at www.tfl.gov.uk/maps from June 3, 2016.
