The fog of war continues to waft across the scene.

From RAIBC:

"The tram was operating an 'inbound' service from New Addington to Wimbledon
via Croydon town centre. Sandilands Junction is the point where inbound
trams from the Beckenham Junction/Elmers End and New Addington routes
converge, shortly before they arrive at Sandilands tram stop (to the east of
Croydon town centre). Trams approaching from the New Addington direction
have to negotiate a sharp, left-hand curve with a speed limit of 20 km/h (12
mph) before reaching the junction. The derailment occurred on the curve and
initial indications suggest that the tram was travelling at a significantly
higher speed than is permitted."
