Tram passengers in Croydon are facing more than two weeks of disruption as part of the London Trams network closes through the town centre, as first reported by our sister title London Now.
The central Croydon section of the network will be shut for 17 days, affecting key stops including Reeves Corner and East Croydon.
Transport for London (TfL) says there will be no tram service between the two stops from Thursday, August 6 until Sunday, August 23 while essential works are carried out.
You can read the original London Now report for the full list of affected routes, replacement travel options and engineering works.
This closure will impact several tram stops, including Church Street, George Street, West Croydon, and Wellesley Road.

Passengers travelling through the town centre are being advised to plan their journeys in advance and allow additional time.
TfL has also warned that additional works will take place on Sunday, August 16 and Thursday, August 20, and passengers should check their journeys before setting off on those dates.
The disruption means there will be no through-tram journey across the closed section between Reeves Corner and East Croydon during this period.
Under the normal tram timetable, services through central Croydon call at stops including East Croydon, George Street, and Church Street before heading towards the western side of the network.
TfL has advised passengers to leave extra time for journeys and check for service changes before travelling.
The closure is scheduled to last up to and including Sunday, August 23.
Passengers can check the latest London Trams service information and plan alternative journeys through the TfL website or the TfL Go app.
