Ref # 2023004-02
Status Further Evidence Requested
Occurrence Failure of a Current Return Cable on a Luas Tram, Connolly Stop, 25th October 2022
Occurrence Date 25 October 2022

Basis for Recommendation

The failure of a Current Return Cable or Hose is not covered in any of the TDLR documents available to the Traffic Supervisor in deciding a course of action to be taken in the event of a failure. Although noted that Safety Notice SN 07/2023 provided instructions to Traffic Supervisors in relation to actions to be taken when a defect is reported by a drivers (paragraph 110), this now needs to be incorporated into relevant documentation.

Recommendation

TDLR should consider updating LNMC Manual Document (TDLR-OP-M-0001) to include guidance for Traffic Supervisors in relation to actions to be taken in the case of failed cables and hoses.
