Trams ‘inconvenience’ with planned works on Coombe Lane

Crossing work: TfL is carrying out engineering work between Coombe Lane and Lloyd Park stops

Transport for London has issued another service warning, as “essential upgrade works” began this week, expected to continue until “early September” at an emergency crossing opposite Coombe Wood School, between the Lloyd Park and Coombe Lane tram stops.

Tram services should continue to operate as normal while the works go on, with the exception of August 17 and August 24, when nighttime works will be conducted.

TfL have advised residents in the area that “works are expected to generate some noise… we will try to keep it to a minimum”.

TfL says: “During the planned work London Trams will operate a normal service except during August 17 and 24 when timetable amendments will be in place.”

TfL offers a 24/7 customer services line for any passengers or residents with “questions or concerns”: 0343 222 1234.
