Status Open / In progress
Occurrence Failure of a Current Return Cable on a Luas Tram, Connolly Stop, 25th October 2022
Occurrence Date 25 October 2022

Basis for Recommendation

WI-00814, Preparation before and after wheel turning is an eighteen page document detailing actions that are required to prepare the tram for wheel turning and the reinstatement of components post turning. WI-00814 is enhanced with thirteen photographs to assist the Maintenance Technician completing the tasks but there is no photograph showing the different levels of corrosion on the Current Return and Earth Shunt cables Lugs and the required actions.

Recommendation

TDLR should develop supporting guidance documentation to WI-00814, Preparation before and after wheel turning, to include information on possible defects e.g. photographs of unacceptable levels of corrosion on the Current Return and Earth Shunt cable Lugs.
