Is there any possibility of bringing it [tram lines approaching Wimbledon

Station] up to street level or are the
roads in that area too crowded already?


I suppose anything is possible, but there's no street in the right
orientation, wide enough, with space for the tracks to rise up and allowing
good interchange with the railway station. One, relatively cheap, option
might be to truncate the tram tracks at about the point where they become
single just short of going into the tunnel/bridge, and create a pedestrian
walkway from the station under the bridge in place of the single track.
