Instead of running into the old Addiscombe station — which has been demolished, with housing being built on the former station site — trams follow the Sanderstead branch alignment as far as Addiscombe Road. While the old branch skirted around Croydon, the obvious major traffic objective in the area, Tramlink was able to make good use of this alignment by running trams up onto the Addiscombe Road in order to serve Croydon town centre. This provides the only section of Line 1 that is not on former railway lines. In addition, extra stops were added at Arena and Blackhorse Lane. Addiscombe tram stop replaces Bingham Road Halt, an original station that was across Bingham Road from where Addiscombe tram stop is now. The tram stop is at road level, Bingham Road Halt Station was on an embankment and crossed the roads over bridges. It is still on the route of the Woodside and South Croydon Railway (locally known as the Sanderstead branch).
