Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)
The Office of Road and Rail (ORR) deals with railway safety. In July 2023, following an ORR investigation and prosecution, Transport for London and Tram Operations Limited were fined a total of £14 million for failings that led to the Croydon tram crash. Seven people died and 19 were seriously injured when a tram, travelling in poor weather and at three times the speed permitted, overturned approaching Sandilands junction in Croydon on 9 November 2016.
