Tram services have today resumed across the whole network following the tragic Croydon tram crash last Wednesday.

Additional speed restrictions and signs have been introduced near Sandilands tram stop, as advised by the investigators interim report into the derailment.

Engineers have repaired all track and equipment on the area damaged by the crash and run tested trams on the section near Addiscombe Road.

The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) said in its report yesterday the tram was travelling more than three times too fast before it crashed.

The report has confirmed the tram was travelling at a speed of approximately 43.5 mph as it entered the curve where it derailed.

The speed limit on the curve had a maximum speed of 12.5mph.

Of the 60 people on board the tram, seven people were killed and 51 were taken to hospital. Of these, eight suffered serious or life-threatening injuries.

Mike Brown MVO, London’s transport commissioner, said: “Our thoughts are with everyone affected by what happened last Wednesday, and we are doing everything we can to ensure that they receive support at this incredibly difficult time.

“Following the RAIB’s interim investigation, we have implemented their advice on additional speed restrictions and signage and carried out a rigorous safety assessment prior to restoring services today."

FirstGroup, which operates the Tramlink network on behalf of TfL, will also be carrying out enhanced speed monitoring across the tram network.

Tram services were suspended between East Croydon and Harrington Road, Addington Village and Elmers End to enable the British Transport Police and RAIB to investigate the site.

The 12.5mph speed limit has been brought closer to the exit of the tunnel near Sandilands.

Speed restrictions have also been implemented at three further locations; in the opposite direction between Sandilands and Lloyd Park; on the approach to Sandilands from Beckenham Junction/Elmers End Brand.

The precautionary limit has also been added to the bend between Birkbeck and Harrington Road.
