As John says it is just a TV program,FICTION! If you watched the show you would know that a gas explosion in the Joinery(built under the arches of the bridge the trams run on) weakened the structure...and this caused the rails to buckle and the tram to come off the line into the street.......so it is no reflection on the tram services. So alas(for GMPT) there won't be any pay out.
