tram stop (tram already goes through wimbledon),

On a historical note, the place where the road widens to the east of
Wimbledon station is where trams used to terminate in the days
before the mistake that was Operation Tramaway. From photographs the
double track just ended in the island, with a crossover for them to
get to the appropriate track. Whether it was ever intended to extend
them I don't know.

Didn't LUT trams continue past the station until they were converted to
trolleybuses in the mid-1930s?
