This is a devastating incident.  Thoughts and wishes extended to all those involved, first responders and other services included.
Don't you start.

The stop in question is Sandilands.

Initial report into tram accident at Sandilands
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-38003934

According to a report i saw on tv, somebody had reported the week before that trams were travelling at excess speed at that particular place, why on earth wasn't it taken more seriously?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I heard that the driver blacked out and then fell forward onto the accelerator lever.

D train incident yesterday

It wasn't as bad as it looks. It actually ran under its own power back to Tyseley afterwards

Thanks Tony, still looking forward to a February start, must be an improvement on a class 153!

@JoNi i wouldn't look forward to it quite yet, the trial on the Coventry - Nuneaton line has been postponed.

I'll hopefully see my contact at LM this week to find out what is happening
