Connections

London Buses route 201 serves the tram stop. [5]

Free interchange for journeys made within an hour is available between trams and buses as part of Transport for London's Hopper Fare. [6]

Future

Belgrave Walk is proposed to be a stop on the planned and currently paused Sutton Link tram extension between Sutton and Colliers Wood Underground, which would integrate the Northern Line into the existing tram network. The Sutton Link aims to create a new tram or BRT (bus rapid transit) system, providing a rail interchange in Sutton. [7] [8]

In 2018, Transport for London (TfL) proposed three routes for the Sutton Link, targeting South Wimbledon, Colliers Wood, and Wimbledon. In February 2020, TfL approved the route to Colliers Wood. According to a now-deleted consultation, the Sutton Link was expected to reduce public transport journey times from Sutton town centre to Colliers Wood by up to 18 minutes (a 50% reduction) and could accommodate approximately 2,200 passengers per hour. However, the project was paused later in 2020 due to funding challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. [9] [10] [11]
