An official investigation has been launched into a Nottingham tram derailment which injured the driver and a passenger. Services were disrupted for over a week after an NET tram collided with a pole at the Bulwell stop on June 12.
The company began its own investigation into the incident, but the official Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) has now launched its own. The organisation says the tram had thirty passengers on board at the time of the accident, with the vehicle travelling at around 19mph.
Describing the incident, the RAIB said: "A southbound tram derailed at a set of facing points on the approach to Bulwell tram stop... The tram subsequently struck an overhead line support pole.
