a possible explanation seems to be that, after one of the OH group is removed by protonation, a molecule of water attacks again and attaches itself so that steric hinderance is the least, ie, in the trans position. Such a reaction will be highly shifted in the forward direction due to the lowering of steric hinderance in the molecule.
