It used to be divided into numbered routes, but in February 2018 the system was adjusted to remove the numbers and restructure the running; as part of this, New Addington lost almost all of its through services to Wimbledon, while Beckenham Junction and Elmers End lost their direct services to West Croydon (though the other direction is still possible without changing). |
[[Category Tramlink Route 3|Route 3]] is the longest route on the network, linking Wimbledon in the west to New Addington in the east.

[[Category Tramlink Route 4|Route 4]] is the newest route on the network; it came into operation on 25 June 2012. |
