Eh? Is that a new battery-powered bus route or something?


it was a Trolleybus - now bus 154.


Ok, thanks. ITYM bus 157.

Perhaps that's what the trams should do. Drop down to street level at
Croydon Road and follow that route to Crystal Palace. (Maybe even taking a
short cut through the park to avoid road congestion at the Robin Hood.)

The big advantage of this route is that it provides an interchange at
Anerley station. The big disadvantage is lots of on-street running -- and
also, lots of on-street disruption while it's being built.
