The derailment of a tram at Beechwood, Ranelagh on 7 April 2004 during test and trial running was investigated by the Railway Procurement Agency, the safety duty holders at that time. I understand that the RPA investigation found that the derailment was caused by points at an emergency crossover failing to open fully. Following the investigation, new procedures were instituted for the operation of these points.
