Default Croydon tram overturned

In message , at
07:57:51 on Wed, 9 Nov 2016, remarked:

Daily Mail now reporting:

'It happened on a sharp bend on the approach to Sandilands tram stop.'

Which is consistent with another comment:

'As we looked down on the tram it was on its right hand side'


From Sandilands the track descends steeply


Which isn't "approching Sandilands"

and splits in two, where it joins the route of the former Woodside and
South Croydon Railway. By the look of the overhead shot, it was
possibly taking the righthand track and came off.


Which would leave it rolled over on its *left* side.

The fog of war continues to waft across the scene.
