Beddington Lane railway station

Beddington Lane tram stop is a stop on the Tramlink tramway. There was previously a railway station on this site, on the single track line from Wimbledon to West Croydon, which closed in 1997 in order for it to be converted for Tramlink use. The stop is accessible from the east from Beddington Lane, and also from the pathway leading to the west and south. In late 2014, the track immediately to the west of the tram stop was doubled, though further west the bridge carrying trams over the main line at Mitcham Junction is still single-track. It is one of two Tramlink stops within the London Borough of Sutton, the other being Therapia Lane.

Despite its name, Mitcham Junction is no longer a railway junction; one of the lines that crossed here (the W&CR) has become a grade-separated tramline, the Croydon Tramlink. Only the Portsmouth Line remains, used by services from Sutton and beyond to London Victoria, and from Sutton to London Blackfriars and beyond. The line still has sharp curves at either end of the station where the junctions were located and speed is limited to 30 miles per hour (48 km/h).The platforms can accommodate 7 coaches. For longer trains selective door opening is used.
