History
The Wimbledon–West Croydon line passed through the area, but without a station at Dundonald Road. Service was withdrawn in May 1997. Tramlink reused the Wimbledon–West Croydon alignment and a new station was built. The level crossing with lifting barriers on Dundonald Road was replaced with traffic lights.[1] Ownership was transferred to Transport for London on 27 June 2008.[2]
The stop was one of the 15 request stops on Tramlink until 15 December 2019, when it became a stop for all trams.[citation needed]
Design
The stop is off-street on a section of double track with two side platforms.[3] The platforms are raised 315 mm (12.4 in) above rail level to permit level boarding. They have passenger information displays, help points, lighting, seating, shelters and CCTV cameras. For accessibility, there are ramps at either end of the platforms and tactile and contrasting paving strips. The stop is provided with cycle parking.[4]
Location
Access is direct from the pavement on the north side of Dundonald Road at the site of the old level crossing (where the old, now demolished, signal box used to stand on the south side).[citation needed] The tram stop is near Dundonald Park and the Dundonald Primary School.
Services
The typical off-peak service in trams per hour from Dundonald Road is:[5][6]
- 6 tph in each direction between Beckenham Junction and Wimbledon
- 6 tph in each direction between Elmers End and Wimbledon
Services are operated using Bombardier CR4000 and Stadler Variobahn model low-floor trams.[7]
