Organise by country?

edit

Might it be a good idea to organise this list by country? This could either replace or complement the existing decade format. Does anyone have any thoughts? G-13114 (talk) 16:16, 17 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Make it a table?

edit

I really like to be able to sort lists. So if I want the first one, on click. Deadliest one, one click. Et cetera. With by-country in-built sorting, that can't happen.

So, I suggest that the list becomes a table, like this one. That way, sorting is easier and things can be found faster. Thoughts? SqueakSquawk4 (talk) 19:29, 18 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

UK 9 June 1905

edit

I've removed this entry as there were no deaths from this particular accident:

*On 9 June 1905, [[Huddersfield Corporation Tramways]] tram No. 67 ran away, derailed and crashed. One person was killed.<ref name="Trouble">{{cite book | first =Brian | last = Hinchcliffe| year = 1990| title = Trams in Trouble | publisher = Pennine Publications Ltd| location =Sheffield |isbn= 0-946055-07-6}}</ref>{{rp|p32}}

According to local newspaper reports, there were four passengers (all on the upper deck) "but none sustained any injury beyond a severe shaking". The driver, named Wolfenden, was uninjured. The conductor, however, opted to jump off and "was thrown into the road and sustained injuries to both knees" (described in another report as "badly bruised").
