2016, Roland Perry remarked:
The Guardian are quoting a TfL source as saying
"the incident happened inside a tunnel" -
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...ped-40-injured


Which suggests it was running north towards Sandilands Station and
something had happened inside the tunnel.

Frustrating that there's no definite reporting of its direction.


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'


You can see the line on YouTube

From the other direction

About 32 minutes in.

Almost certain speed, driver or leaf fall?
