The new bosses of Croydon's Tramlink service cannot guarantee fares will not rise after Transport for London (TfL) took over the running of the service.
Seven bosses at Tramtrack, the company that has run the town's tram service for the last 11 years, are to be made redundant following the takeover this week.
The publicly-funded TfL was forced to bail out the service with up to £4m a year to subsidise it, with costs predicted to rise.

Southern Railway seeks to extend Watford service to Milton Keynes
Southern Railway was still in negociations with Network Rail concerninmg a proposed extention ofits Werst London line service over the West Coast main linmeto Milton Keynes. The proposal is that the curent Brighton - Watford Junction service would become an East Croydon - Milton Keynes service in the new Timetable. However actual implentation would probabaly beput off untill January 2009 due to the amount of commisioning workdue at Milton Keynes over the Christmas period this year. There are some suggestionsthat the northen terminus would end up being Leyton Buzzard, with trains running northweards prior to crosing over to return south.
