Transport for London and FirstGroup-owned Tram Operations Limited have pleaded guilty to health and safety failings over the 2016 Croydon tram crash, the Office of Rail and Road has said.
Seven passengers died and 51 were injured when a tram derailed in south London on 9 November 2016. The ORR alleges TfL and TOL breached section 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, while the tram’s driver, Alfred Dorris, faces an allegation of breaching section 7(a) of the legislation.
