===Stops=== [[File:Croydon Tramlink Addiscombe Road.jpg|thumb|right|Tram 2530 leaving Croydon on an [[Elmers End station|Elmers End]] service in 2007]] There are 39 stops, with 38 opened in the initial phase, and [[Centrale tram stop]] added on 10 December 2005.<ref name=":0" /> Most stops are {{convert|32.2|m|abbr=on|ftin}} long. The tram stops have low platforms, {{convert|35|cm|abbr=on}} above rail level, virtually level with the doors. This level access from platform to tram allows [[wheelchair]]s, [[Baby transport#Wheeled devices|prams]], [[Baby transport#Wheeled devices|pushchairs]] and the elderly to board easily with no steps.<ref name=":33">{{Cite book |last=Michael. |first=Steward |url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/48533869 |title=Tramlink : official handbook |date=2000 |publisher=Capital Transport |isbn=1-85414-222-4 |oclc=48533869}}</ref> In street sections, the stop is integrated with the pavement.<ref name=":33" /> All platforms are all wider than {{convert|2|m|abbr=on}}.<ref name=":33" /> Tramlink uses some former main-line stations on the Wimbledon–West Croydon and Elmers End–Coombe Lane stretches of line. The railway platforms have been demolished and rebuilt to Tramlink specifications, except at Elmers End and Wimbledon where the track level was raised to meet the higher main-line platforms to enable [[cross-platform interchange]].{{Citation needed|date=May 2024}} Stops are unstaffed and had automated ticket machines that are no longer in use due to TfL making trams cashless. In general, access between the platforms involves crossing the tracks by pedestrian level crossing.{{Citation needed|date=May 2024}} Stops also feature CCTV, a Passenger Help Point, a Passenger Information Display (PID), litter bins, a noticeboard and lamp-posts, and most also have seats and a shelter.<ref name=":33" /> The PIDs display the destinations and expected arrival times of the next two trams. They can also display any message the controllers want to display, such as information on delays or even safety instructions for vandals to stop putting rubbish or other objects onto the track.{{Citation needed|date=May 2024}}
