Last night at around 10 PM, a tram returning to the depot derailed at the curve between Via Galvani and Via Filzi, adjacent to the Central Station in Milan. This incident occurred just a week after another tram derailment involving Tram 9, which resulted in two deaths and approximately fifty injuries. The cause of the latest derailment has been identified as a bolt on the tracks, as confirmed by Atm, the local transport company.

Despite the serious nature of a derailment, there were no injuries reported this time, as the vehicle was empty and on its way to the depot. This incident raises concerns regarding the maintenance and safety checks of the tram system in Milan, especially in light of the previous tragic accident. The authorities and transport officials may face increased scrutiny regarding their operational protocols and the condition of the tracks.

Given the recent history of tram derailments in Milan, there may be calls for enhanced safety measures and more rigorous inspections to prevent potential future accidents. This latest event emphasizes the importance of infrastructure maintenance and could lead to discussions on improving public transport safety across the city and potentially broader regions in Italy.
