Re: [TramsDownUnder] Sydney Light rail

I've heard the driver (of a Toyota Kluger) was charged with running a red light. I wonder if TfNSW/Transdev will make a claim on the car's insurance ?

(I suspect insurance companies are very good at not paying out for damage to government owned assets)

No doubt some actuary has done the sums, and calculated the cost of easy derailment is less than buying better trams.

Nah, just kidding - derailment wasn't in the sales brochure, therefore not a consideration. 

Just one of those "inconvenient externalities", best ignored.

The ol' fulcrum and lever effect on fixed-truck trams with long noses. I wonder if they've joined the dots yet?

Was reported on TV news, both Channels 7 and 10. Trams at this location reported as held for three hours while rerailing took place.

There was another car accident derailment on Monday night which seems to have missed media attention.

 

Inbound tram 25 was hit by a car travelling east on King St and ended up straddling the outbound track. The railway accident unit attended, along with fire units from FRE and FRNSW.
