Date: 05/12/2016
A tram driver was sacked for speeding on a bend on the Oldham line in Greater Manchester in June.
The Metrolink driver took a corner at nearly three times the speed limit causing passengers to be hurled from their seats, the Manchester Evening News reported.
Three passengers suffered ^very minor^ injuries, operator Metrolink said.
It was therefore ^not reportable^ under the Rail Accident and Investigation Branch (RAIB) guidelines, it said. [From Mark Bartlett]
