  1. When do you plan to update the feed that creates the Timetable page? The results for Tram Line 3 still show old timetable information i.e. a service between Wimbledon and Croydon every 7/8 minutes instead of every 5.

    1. Hi, apologies for the delay in getting back to you. We’ve looked into this and it has been raised as an issue internally and we’re now looking into it. We hope to have this resolved very soon. Also, for your info, trams live arrivals are now available on our website and in our Unified API.

        1. Hi James. We’ve taken a feed from an existing trams operational system to generate the live arrivals data. Trams live disruptions will also be available later this year, and we’ll keep you posted on this blog when there’s any news.
