Swiss company Stadler's won the £16.3m contract, towards which Croydon
Council contributes £3m.

So they're using them where they are least needed then.

Surely they wouldn't be much good anywhere else in London?


What I meant was that they are putting the extra trams where they
already have a frequent service, rather than using them where there is
no service, or the service is infrequent.

Where has no service? They even use the centre road at East Croydon in
everyday service now.

It is surely hardly a surprise that the busiest bit has the most
frequent service, and needs more capacity.
