Going Forest Hill - West Croydon - Tram to Wimbledon - Tolworth seems to
be the fastest route (though as the TfL JourneyPlanner has been down all
morning I can't check what it thinks), and you only need Z345 so saving
more money.


TfL say 1h03 for that in the morning, going via East Croydon (going via
West Croydon involves two trams as West Croydon tramstop is eastbound
only).


Getting a tram from West Croydon to East Croydon to go west would be daft.
I've never done it but walking from West Croydon to Church Street tramstop
looks like 500m so a 5-6 minutes walk for the average person. And my quick
calculations suggested that the time of the WC trains plus tram journey time
fitted better with the Wimbledon-Tolworth half-hourly service.
