Croydon tram accident investigation has made incredibly serious revelations

Caroline Pidgeon, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member, commenting on the revelations by the BBC Victoria Derbyshire programme of Croydon tram drivers admitting to the programme they had fallen asleep and that trams have been breaching track speed limits, even since the tram crash of November 2016, said:

"These are incredibly serious revelations, especially if any breaches of speeding have occurred since the horrific tram crash last November.

"Already the RAIB reports have confirmed that the Croydon tram crash involved a tram far exceeding the speed limit for that part of the track.

"It is now time to consider whether the current company are fit to run this important contract given these serious safety issues."
