Tram Safety Fail at Crossing | Sheffield News

A recent tram incident in June left two teens injured after they were struck by a tram while exiting an athletics event — the vehicle was going under the speed limit, but the driver had barely any time to react. The Rail Accident Investigation Branch blamed inadequate risk management and poor safety infrastructure, including unclear signage and ineffective tram alerts. A bumpy cobbled area may have worsened injuries. The report urges immediate safety reviews at this crossing and across the entire Supertram network, plus consistent horn use for clarity. While no blame is assigned, authorities vow to prioritize safety improvements. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
