T OMORROW night the second stage I of the scheme for converting South London's tram routes to bus operation comes into effect. This stage consists of the replacement of nine tram routes by an equal number of new bus routes and will see the end of all tram services in Wimbledon, Merton, Colliers Wood, Tooting and Balham, a reduction in the routes serving Streatham and Brixton, and a further reduction in those in Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth and Westminster.
It will also bring the number of bus routes along the Victoria Embankment to six.
With the implementation of the second stage, 188 trams will have been abandoned and 240 buses introduced in their stead.
