Strictly speaking true, but not that useful unless you want to go one
stop from Beddington Lane to Therapia Lane.

That's silly. It's like claiming that the northern line isn't that
useful for Merton residents as you can only travel between Colliers
Wood, South Wimbledon, and Mordon.

The benefit that the Northern Line brings to Merton is that enables
some Merton residents to leave Merton; likewise the tram and Sutton.

The point is that Morden (S. Wimbledon and Wimbledon) are situated in the
centre of Merton borough

The trams line simply skirts the boundary of Sutton and is unless to the 98%
of the borough residents who aren't within walking distance
