The Guardian are quoting a TfL source as saying

Which suggests it was running north towards Sandilands Station and
something had happened inside the tunnel.

Frustrating that there's no definite reporting of its direction.

Daily Mail now reporting:

'It happened on a sharp bend on the approach to Sandilands tram stop.'

Which is consistent with another comment:

'As we looked down on the tram it was on its right hand side'

Almost certain speed, driver or leaf fall?

Is there not some sort of ATP or speed control system in such an event
on the Tramlink? IIRC, there are timed signals along the line.
