Automatic Speed Restriction Equipment Planned for the UK's Trams.
An Automatic Vehicle Speed Monitor (AVSM) is to be fitted to the Transport for London trams which operate in Croydon. This follows a fatal accident in November when 7 people were killed and over 50 injured. That tram was later found to have been travelling three times faster than the speed limit set for a section of track that led into a curve. It toppled over on the curve at Sandilands Junction.

Random accumulation of hard work isn’t enough: the Lib Dems need to pivot
For the Liberal Democrats and its predecessors the party's strategy for success at general elections was based on the accumulation of random chance through hard work. That is, a particular Parliamentary seat would become winnable through the combination of the right mix of personalities coming together at the local level, opposition errors, issue opportunities and helpful demography or tactical situation. Causal factors one and all, but with the accumulative appearance of random chance. It made for a diverse set of winnable, and won, seats without nearly as much in common between them - and those who voted Liberal Democrat - as is the case with other parties.
