Tramlink is to suspend services between Arena and Beckenham Junction to undertake maintenance work on its lines.

Services are expected to be suspended until Friday, August 27, although it is hoped work will be completed sooner.

Tram services will be altered so route one to Wimbledon will operate a more frequent eight-minute service between Wimbledon and Elmers End while route two, which runs to Beckenham, will be suspended.

Route three to New Addington will operate a normal service. A special bus service will run between Beckenham Junction and Elmers End with stops to serve the Beckenham Road and Birkbeck tram stops.

Passengers with Tramlink tickets may also use local bus services. For more information call 020 8681 8300.
