Standing at Merton Park station two stops away from the terminus at
Wimbledon this very attractive liveried Croydon waits to depart.
Tramlink has adopted several different co-operate liveries for its
trams, the first few were acknowledgements of the people who were
associated with the project - scuh as Amey - and businesses
associated with Croydon such as Nescafe and the Whitgift Centre.
The First Group - which this livery represents - is a major
transport operator currently operaing several Railway franchises
in the UK.

The brand new state-of-the-art Croydon Tramlink vehicle of type CR4000
on display in Birmingham (Railway Technology exhibition, November 1998). 24 low-floor light rail vehicles will be built by Bombardier and equipped with a Kiepe propulsion system. According to the London Transport numbering scheme, these vehicles that are similar to the K4000 low-floor trams delivered to Cologne will be numbered CR 2530 to CR 2553.
