Great! Why do tube lines not get closed down for weeks at a time and the trams do?

Great! Why do tube lines not get closed down for weeks at a time and the trams do? Not sure it's the reason here but back in France overnight work is (understandably) out of the equation for urban trams, tracks/switches/other infra is encased in the road surface meaning it can't just be lifted out and switched out quickly like on heavy rail, among other reasons.
A month is not unheard of over the Channel. Helps that the two month long summer school holidays is matched with significant reduction in demand from both schoolkids and everyone in general over that period which is less so in the UK.

Tram strikes, specifically the maintenance workers, are beginning on Sunday until the end of service on Thursday next week, which essentially means anyone south of Croydon will have no/next to none tram services for a month due to the planned works beginning the day after the strikes end.

Surely that last statement is false. They use the word routes, the only route that can be running is East Croydon - Wimbledon

Croydon trams damaged by unknown debris on track www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6py1vw98e8oTrams in Croydon have been taken out of service due to damaged wheels, according to Transport for London. Engineers say debris on the track caused the damage but, despite an inspection, have been unable to find exactly what debris it was. TfL says large parts of the network are now closed and passengers should expect major disruption to the rest of the service.
