BREAKING NEWS: TfL and Tram Operations Limited have been £14m over the fatal 2016 crash.
On Wednesday, operators were also told to pay £500,000 in costs.
Mr Justice Fraser told the court on the third-day of the sentencing hearing: "This was undoubtedly an accident waiting to happen, quite literally." Mr Dorris, from Beckenham, in south-east London, told his trial he had become disorientated and thought he was going in the other direction. The court was also told there was "over-reliance on fallible humans" and tram drivers were "let down" by their employer TOL, and by TfL.
Tracy Angelo, the daughter of victim Donald Collett, said the family would "never be the same again". London's Transport Commissioner Andy Lord said: "I apologise on behalf of everyone at Transport for London, both past and present, for this tragedy and for the pain, distress and suffering that all those affected have endured and continue to endure.
