[[File:General Railway Pictures 2013 243.jpg|thumb|A Variobahn ''(right)'' and a CR4000 at [[Sandilands tram stop]] in July 2013]]
The original fleet comprised 24 articulated [[low floor]] [[Bombardier Flexity Swift]] [[Bombardier CR4000|CR4000]] trams built in [[Vienna]] numbered beginning at 2530, continuing from the highest-numbered tram 2529 on [[Trams in London|London's former tram network]], which closed in 1952.<ref>{{cite magazine |title = First Croydon Tram on Test |magazine = [[Today's Railways UK]] |issue = 36 |date = December 1998 |page = 57 |language = en-GB}}</ref> The original livery was red and white. One (2550) was painted in FirstGroup white, blue and pink livery. During 2006, the CR4000 fleet was refreshed, with the bus-style destination roller blinds being replaced with a digital [[dot-matrix display]]. Between 2008 and 2009 the fleet was repainted externally in the new green livery and the interiors were refurbished with new flooring, seat covers retrimmed in a new [[moquette]] and [[stanchions]] repainted from yellow to green.<ref>{{cite magazine |title = Croydon Tramlink opened for business |magazine = [[The Railway Magazine]] |issue = 1191 |date = July 2000 |page = 10 |language = en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.thisiscroydontoday.co.uk/news/Exclusive-End-era-Croydon-s-red-tram-turns-green/article-869210-detail/article.html |title=End of an era as Croydon's last red tram turns green |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101007080528/http://www.thisiscroydontoday.co.uk/news/Exclusive-End-era-Croydon-s-red-tram-turns-green/article-869210-detail/article.html |archive-date=7 October 2010 |language = en-GB}}</ref> One (2551) has been permanently withdrawn having been significantly damaged in the [[2016 Croydon tram derailment]] on 9 November 2016.<ref>{{cite web |title=Tramlink.

====Croydon Variobahn====
{{main|Stadler Variobahn}}
In January 2011, Tramtrack Croydon invited tenders for the supply of then new or second-hand trams,<ref name=rgltsbfat/> and on 18 August 2011, TfL announced that [[Stadler Rail]] had won a £16.3{{nbsp}}million contract to supply six [[Stadler Variobahn|Variobahn]] trams similar to those used by [[Bergen Light Rail|Bybanen]] in [[Bergen]], Norway.<ref name=rgi20110818/> They entered service during 2012.<ref name=RailwayGazette21Aug13/> In August 2013, TfL ordered an additional four Variobahn trams for delivery in 2015, an order that was later increased to six. This brought the total Variobahn fleet up to ten in 2015,<ref name=RailwayGazette21Aug13/><ref name=TfLWimbledonNewTrams/> and 12 in 2016 when the final two trams were delivered.<ref name=BTO/>
