Is there not some sort of ATP or speed control system in such an event
on the Tramlink? IIRC, there are timed signals along the line.

TPWS-for-trams, anyone?
Doesn't sound like such a bad idea, under the circumstances.


I'm surprised such systems arn't installed already on trams like croydon
that are essentially railways in all but name.


Will these unfortunate deaths be included in the otherwise minimal stats
for "UK Rail Passenger Fatalities"?


Good question.
