For inadvertently falling asleep? What if he's got some sort of medical problem? Frankly I find you passing judgment without the facts appalling.

That's why trains have a vigilance device.I suspect it has nothing to do with shift patterns and more to do with the monotony of the job. Driving a motor vehicle requires a lot more attention.
Yes for falling asleep- seven people died on the same line.
At least 4 drivers have admitted falling asleep while operating trams in Croydon- and I hope none of them are still employed

I'm certain the culture is terrible and management should be replaced. But that doesn't absolve any individual. Bankers tend to use a similar defence

A number of operators have already admitted to falling asleep due to shift patterns. Are we to believe there is also an epidemic of narcolepsy? A remarkable coincidence if so
Why did a vigilance alarm not go off as it would in a train cab? -do trams have it linked to send a message via GSMR?

The tram was stationary at the time.
So?
You knock on the glass and ask if he is OK. It could've been a medical issue.
Apparently people did knock on the glass?
Yes, but it seems only after they got what they needed to send to the papers.
Exactly. And that could've been the difference between life and death had it actually been a medical issue.
So what is your suggestion? The passengers should have broken down the door to the cab to check on the driver?
If reporting it to the press has a positive effect by putting it firmly in the public forum so it can't be ignored, is that not a good thing?
Knock on the glass and ask if he is OK. Don't just sit there filming it.

I suspect many tram drivers have fallen asleep momentarily. They are hardly going to admit it if they are going to be prosecuted and jailed as you suggested.
Quite sure tram drivers would have fallen asleep in the past, however we now live in a modern age with the Internet, mobile phones etc... and things like this are reported and spread rather quickly.
