They're the split seconds between a nasty accident and just evading one. CCTV from NSW's light rail driver cabins shows dozens of near misses as delivery riders, pedestrians and motorists take on 85-tonne carriages cruising along our cities' streets.
Motorists in the Parramatta district – where the light rail connecting Westmead to Carlingford opened last December – have had more near misses with trams in the past year than those in the Sydney CBD and Newcastle.
