Introduction
1. Executive summary
This document provides an overview of tram incident statistics for Victoria up to the end of
the calendar year 2016. The performance shown in this document should be considered
against a background of increased patronage and tram travel distance.
Over the past five years, metropolitan tram patronage has increased by 3.7 per cent over the
period between 2012 and 2016, with 181.9 million boardings in 2012 and 187.9 million
boardings in 20161.
The total travelled kilometres by metropolitan trams has increased by 6.9 per cent between
2012 and 2016, with 24.7 million km in 2012 and 26.4 million km in 2016.
Where information is available, trends are typically shown using average numbers over the
preceding five years. For example, the five year moving average figure for 2012 is the
average of values for the years 2008 to 2012, while the moving average figure for 2013 is the
average of values for the years 2009 to 2013.
There were 1,558 incidents reported by tram operators to Transport Safety Victoria (TSV)
during 2016. Some key points shown by the 2016 tram incident statistics.
 No fatalities were reported by tram operators over the past two years.
 There were 61 serious injuries reported by tram operators in 2016, 45 of which were tram
passengers and 14 of which were members of the public. That is the highest number of
serious injuries for a single year since 2008. It represents an increase of 30 per cent
compared to the 47 serious injuries in 2015.
 There was a decrease in the five year moving average for running line derailments from
32.4 in 2012 to 23 in 2016.
 The number of reported collisions between trams has increased from nine in 2015 to 13 in
2016. However, the 2016 figure is in line with those recorded between 2012 and 2014.
 The number of reported slips, trips or falls on trams increased to its highest levels since
2007. It increased by 41 per cent compared to 2015.
 There was a 13 per cent increase in the number of reported collisions with road vehicles
from 854 in 2015 to 962 in 2016.
 There was a decrease in the number of reported fires on trams to one in 2016 reverting
the trend from 2012 to 2015.
TSV is working with KDR Victoria Pty Ltd trading as Yarra Trams (KDR) to investigate the
increased incidence of serious injuries being reported. The increase in serious injuries
appears to be primarily a result of slips, trips and falls for passengers both on trams and at
the platform-tram interface. These incidents and their prevention are addressed monthly in
safety meetings between TSV and KDR. KDR is currently examining a range of measures
including engineering changes to trams acceleration and braking, revised driver training,
driver visual display upgrades and incident hot spot location assessments.

Regulation 46 of the Rail Safety Local Operations Regulations 2006 (Vic)

2. Reporting requirements in Victoria
Tram operators and a number of tourist and heritage operators are required to report rail
incidents to TSV in accordance with the requirements of the Rail Safety (Local Operations)
Act 2006 (Vic) (RSLOA) and Rail Safety (Local Operations) Regulations 2006 (Vic)
(RSLOR).
TSV uses the data it collects from rail operators to monitor trends and safety risks across the
Victorian transport network.
It is important to note that tram operators (including metropolitan, regional and tourist and
heritage operators) are rail operators under the RSLOA.
3. Changes to information
The information contained in this report is the intellectual property of TSV and is year-to-date
(YTD) December 2016. It is sourced from its Occurrence Database, which stores data as
reported to TSV by rail operators, as at 8 February 2017. The information might be adjusted
to reflect new information that comes to light at any time without prior notice. Consequently,
minor variations may exist when compared with previous publications.
Variations in information from year to year are evident in this report. Improvements in safety
are generally expected to occur over time as enhancements are made to systems. Low
frequency - high consequence events however, such as those occasionally experienced in
the transport industry, and changes to transport demand, such as increasing patronage, can
also result in variations in the information.
4. Definitions
Railway accident or incident as defined in the RSLOR:






an accident or incident on railway premises that results in
o the death of a person
o a person requiring immediate treatment as an in-patient in a hospital
a running line derailment of any unit of rolling stock
a collision between any rolling stock and any person
a collision between any rolling stock and any other vehicle, infrastructure, obstruction or
object which resulted in significant property damage
an implosion, explosion, fire or other occurrence which resulted in significant property
damage
a notifiable accident or incident.
Notifiable circumstance as defined in the RSLOR means a circumstance, act or omission that
resulted, or had the potential to result, in the death or serious injury to any person, or
significant damage to property. The definition includes:




any defect in, or failure of, any part of the rail infrastructure
any defect in, or failure of, any rolling stock or part of any rolling stock
any failure or breach of any rail operations practice, procedure or rule
any other circumstance, act or omission that the Safety Director has specified under
regulation 42(2) to be a notifiable circumstance.
TSV uses the Guideline for the Top Event Classification of Notifiable Occurrences as a
resource when classifying rail incidents (Occurrence Classification-Guideline One (OC-G1)).

A fracture of the rail in a running line including a broken joint or weld, or detachment of a
piece from the rail which necessitates an immediate stoppage of traffic or the
immediate imposition of a speed restriction lower than that currently in force.
