Re: Fwd: [eurotrams] RAIB report on Croydon tram crash

I've just been reading the short version on the Metro Report website.

Reading what they have published suggests nobody has any idea how it happened (apart from high speed into a curved junction, but how that was so is not explained) so there are recommendations for Africa. Including reducing speed limits to Melbourne levels, which will hardly make a difference if a tram is already doing 73kmh at a 20kmh junction :-O

I'll now read the full version Mal posted :-)
