🚊 George Street tram stop

George Street is a tram stop in Croydon, south London, served by Tramlink. It is located in the main shopping area of central Croydon. It is one of the busiest stops on the service, but with notably limited facilities because of its constrained site on a narrow street. It is on a single track section, with trams only departing in the westbound direction. Located on a section of road reserved for pedestrians and cyclists, it is the worst location on the network for trams being held-up by poorly parked cars in loading bays. George Street was the western terminus of a horse-tram to Addiscombe that began operation in December 1883, converted to electric traction in 1901 and was withdrawn in 1927. The stop opened on 10 May 2000 with the first section of Tramlink.
