Croydon Tramlink is no more. Instead, any reference to Croydon has been dropped in favour of the name London Tramlink. And at the same time the traditionally red carriages are being painted green.
The re-branding has met with sadness as the town's unique tram system, long hailed as a part of Croydon's identity, becomes lost in Transport for London (TfL). The £2m makeover comes seven months after TfL's £100m buyout from Tramtrack Croydon, in March.
