Bespoke materials should only be considered where a strong case can be made as to their value in responding to the character of the space and the surrounding architecture. This will require approval by the SDRG • Where a non-standard material has been specified, designers should be especially careful in detailing the intersection of the bespoke treatment with the standard footway materials used on the TLRN Street furniture • Street furniture should be kept to a minimum and equipment and signs should be combined where possible; refer to ‘Footway amenities’ and ‘Safety and functionality’ for more information • Passenger information and bus stop signage should all be coordinated in furniture zones to minimise clutter. Consideration of adjacent frontages when siting bus infrastructure is important and will influence the layout and format of bus stop shelters. Please contact our Bus Infrastructure team and refer to ‘Kerbside activity’ for further information Carriageway • Carriageway surfacing should be carefully considered so as to ensure durability • Containment kerbs may be required where a safety audit has identified a risk of vehicle overrun on to the footway • Please be aware of DfT guidance on highway marking Additional information Transport for London: Interchange Best Practice Guidelines, 2009 Accessible Bus Stop Design Guidance, 2015 Station Public Realm Design Guidance, 2015 14.6 Tram interchanges Tramlink provides 28km of rapid, street level and off-carriageway services across central Croydon, from Wimbledon to New Addington, Elmers End and Beckenham Junction. Tramlink is a fully integrated public transport service and connects with numerous bus routes, seven mainline rail stations and the London Underground. Powered by electricity, trams do not emit fumes and so provide a greener public transport solution than motor vehicles. They do however require extensive infrastructure for operation including rail tracks within the carriageway, overhead power lines and raised platforms. Any proposed extension or changes to the route should consider the visual impact on the streetscape, in particular, where possible building fixings should Figure 310: Elmers End tram stop

Where this is not possible special consideration should be given to the visual impact that the overhead line supports may have on the urban environment. London Trams, a division of London Rail, is responsible for maintaining the infrastructure and the vehicles, overseeing the operations of the Tramlink network and for future enhancements to the system. We are committed to maintaining and improving the tram network by providing higher frequency services, without compromising the road network capacity. Location • Tram stops may be located within the street environment or off-carriageway and consist of a raised platform, ticket vending machine, Oyster reader, emergency help point, information boards and shelter and seating where space allows • Tram routes that run within the carriageway either run in mixed traffic or within their own dedicated lanes • Highway arrangements at on-street stops shall be designed to minimise the speed of traffic through or around the stop. The layout of on-street stops must be designed to minimise the risk of vehicles mounting the platform or hitting the platform edge Detailed information Platform widths should be designed to cater for the anticipated volume of pedestrian use. • The minimum width between tramway edge and any structure should be 1,500mm • The nominal minimum platform width will be 3,000mm for side platforms and 5,000mm for island platforms • Side platforms with absolute minimum width of 2,000mm may be considered where pedestrian demand profiles are sufficiently low and designs agreed with London Trams on the basis of risk and value management assessments • Along the full length of the platform, a single row of lozenge tactile paving should be used to delineate the edge with a contrasting colour • The kerb height needs to be raised in most instances to 350mm to provide step-free access for boarding the tram Figure 311: Tram and bus interchange at Centrale shopping centre, Croydon • Poles to support overhead lines should be setback at least 450mm from the kerb edge. These poles should be considered for mounting other signage or street lighting to reduce clutter, while taking into account the maintenance requirements as strict access arrangements are in place due to overhead lines carrying high voltage • Signalised pedestrian crossings across the carriageway are not generally required at each end of each platform, however, an uncontrolled crossing point should be provided where the desire lines dictate it • The provision of a signalised crossing will be dependent on pedestrian desire lines, sightlines and vehicle flows and will be determined using risk assessment and industry guidelines/standards • Tree plantings should be considered where possible Additional information Department for Transport: Inclusive mobility – A guide to best practice on access to pedestrian and transport infrastructure Office of Rail Regulation: Guidance on Tramways: Railway Safety Publication 2 Transport for London: Trams Customer Environments
