Layout
Immediately to the east of the tram stop, the line descends in cutting to a junction with the trackbed of the former Woodside and South Croydon Railway. Tramlink route 3 diverges to the south along this trackbed, whilst routes 1, 2 and 4 diverge to the north along the same trackbed. To the west of the stop, the line runs alongside Addiscombe Road on a reserved track as far as the junction with Chepstow Road. From Chepstow Road the line runs within Addiscombe Road, sharing road space with buses and local traffic.
The area of Sandilands tram stop was one of the few places where property demolition was needed during the construction of Tramlink, in order to make way for both the stop and the cutting link to the former railway line.
2016 derailment
Early in the morning of 9 November 2016, 7 people died and more than 50 were injured when a tram derailed and rolled over at Sandilands junction, 150 metres (490 ft) southeast of the tram stop where two lines converge with a sharp bend.
