"Croydon Tramlink: Kingston Road level-crossing and Merton Park tram-stop, 2000." View SE from A238 towards Mitcham and Croydon etc., formerly West Croydon SR/LB&SCR. The original ex-LB&SCR Wimbledon - West Croydon line (electrified by the SR in 1930) was closed 31/5/97 for conversion to the Tramlink, which opened 30/5/00. The original Merton Park station had been nearer this crossing and had an extra platform on the ex-LSWR & LB&SCR Joint line to Tooting, the Merton Abbey chord. The Loop lost its passenger service from 2/3/29, but freight continued for many years, from the Merton Park end after severance of the line at Tooting Junction on 10/3/34, until 1/5/75.
