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.

It seems to have come to rest inside the overhead line support for the righthand track, but on it's righthand side. Given that if it was going left, it would have been on the lefthand side and going right would have needed to traverse the points of what looks like a single slip at the junction, it must have derailed either at the points or been going too fast. Another possibility is it could have been coming the other way, from the lefthand track, derailed at the points and slid back down the slope, overturning when it hit the split in the track direction. Can't see that one myself though.
