We have no idea how it happened.

What we have been told is that there is a steep, quite a bad bend so the tram may have derailed.

There was also torrential rain earlier perhaps that had something to do with it - but this is all complete speculation.

It's unbelievable that this has happened - it's unprecedented really since the tram opened in 2000.

Them trams can pick up a bit of speed especially downhill,  that corner is basically the shape of an "L"  upside down on a downhill bend.  I remember back when I use to catch tram on a regular people/shopping would be sent flying on that corner certain times.  

Weather didn't play no part in that, Tramlink been going around that corner for 16 years in worse weather,  that's down to driver error or mechanical 

 

RIP
