Therapia Lane depot, Tram depot in Sutton, England
Therapia Lane depot is a tram maintenance facility in Sutton, South London, designed to service the local tram network and keep vehicles operational. It sits between two station areas and includes workshop tracks, storage spaces for multiple tram sets, and specialized equipment for repairs and maintenance work.
The facility opened in 1998 on land where old railway sidings once stood, becoming part of the new Croydon Tramlink system expansion. It was built to provide the infrastructure needed for operating a modern tram network in this part of South London.
The depot serves as a working hub that keeps the local tram network running smoothly for thousands of daily commuters across South London. It represents an important part of how the region moves people around and stays connected through public transport.
The depot is not open to the general public as it is an active working facility for Transport for London's operations. Those interested in local transport can observe the tram network in action by visiting nearby stations or riding the tram itself to understand how the system functions.
A British Transport Police base operates on the site to monitor security across the entire tram network. This specialized police unit works behind the scenes to keep the system secure for its daily passengers.
