For a start the Trams aren't going to go near the bus station, and Anerley station hardly has a suitable service to interchange with. Good point. Anerley's 2tph both go to Croydon anyway, so there's better interchange available there. Besides, if the trams just follow the existing railway line to Crystal Palace, then they won't even go anyhere near Anerley station! Unless service patterns have changed in the last year or so, some of the trains split at Purley. Why not take over half of that service? Because there still aren't the paths at Norwood Junction. So it does look like the tramlink will bring a worse train service to Crystal Palace after all... So the pro tram advocates ought to post a response here to justify the not inconsiderable sum that will be spent in its construction plus the cost of an extra tram or two for what seems a very dubious benefit. At the top of the thread it was stated the extension will go ahead - sounds more like an election promise that won't be delivered within Ken's new term of office, assuming he is elected.
