Woodside station Junction with the Addiscombe branch of the South Eastern Railway. Now Woodside tram stop. Croydon Tramlink follows the route of the railway from here to Coombe Road.
  Blackhorse Lane tram stop
Bingham Road halt The railway was on an embankment here and crossed over Lower Addiscombe Road and Bingham Road on bridges. The embankment has been removed and Tramlink crosses both these roads on the level. The halt was just south of Bingham Road; Addiscombe tram stop is just south of Lower Addiscombe Road. (Addiscombe railway station was about 500 metres further west - East India Way has been built on its site.)
About 200 metres east of Sandilands tram stop, Tramlink divides. One fork takes a sharp turn northwards to join the route of the railway in the direction of Woodside (and from there to Elmers End and Beckenham Junction). The other fork turns southward in the direction of Coombe Road (and from there to New Addington).
  Park Hill tunnels under Ratcliffe Road and Deepdene Avenue
Coombe Road station originally called Coombe Lane At this point Tramlink takes a sharp turn east and reaches Lloyd Park tram stop after about 200 metres. (The present Coombe Lane tram stop is about 2 km further east.)
Spencer Road halt Hidden on an alleyway between Spencer Road and Birdhurst Rise. The railway company hoped that this halt would enable passengers to change to the Brighton Line by taking the five minute walk to South Croydon station - very few did.
Selsdon station originally called Selsdon Road Junction with the Oxted Line, the former Croydon, Oxted and East Grinstead Railway.
