The Wimbledon to West Croydon Line was opened in 1855 and closed in 1997 so that the route could be taken over by Tramlink. The original line between Wimbledon and West Croydon just ran as a shuttle between those two stations and although it was electrified in 1930, trains on the line never continued elsewhere. In its latter years trains ran about every 45 minutes. Some sections were single line and this continued when Tramlink took over the route. Waddon Marsh Halt was a station on the old Wimbledon to West Croydon line but was located several hundred yards to the north, just this side of the bridge carrying Purley Way. After closure in 1997 it was completely demolished - see http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/w/waddon_marsh/index.shtml
