Ampere Way Tram Stop
A new station on an old route, this was originally a conventional line built by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway. It was converted to a tramway with many new stops, including here, which takes its name from one of the nearby streets with electrical names commemorating a large power station which used to be nearby.
The Wikipedia entry for this stop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere_Way_tram_stop is brief but contains the following trivia snippet.
"The station was renamed IKEA Ampere Way under a sponsorship deal on 18 October 2006, in order to promote the stop's location near IKEA's Croydon store. By March 2008, the station had reverted to its former name."

The Ampere Way tram stop on Croydon's Tramlink system. The system opened in 2000. Ampere Way is on a section of route which was previously a suburban railway line, although there was never a station here.
In the background, the chimneys are a reminder of an electricity generating station which stood here. Note that "ampere" is a unit of electric current.
