I was on an Eccles line service which has derailed a few hours ago. Suffice to say the most scary experience........

Will post pics on a moment. Basically it was because of the new MediaCity UK spur. The driver stopped on the switch just past Harbour City Manchester platform, after realising he had come into conflict with a tram coming out of MediaCity branch. He tried to reverse the tram to clear the switch thus allowing the tram out, and the switch changed under him causing the rear half of the tram to take the wrong road.

I was speaking to the driver immediately after he happened to check he was ok and stuff (everyone else tried to get the f**k out as quick as possible!) and he stated he hadn't been trained or told what to do properly and he was a bit of a mess.

Massive bang, lots of flashes, the overhead poll was destroyed by the tram and the tram's a bit of a mess too.

All in all another smashing job by Metrolink, suffice to say, incompetent dosen't describe them.
