This proposal didn't include using the St John's Road tunnel,
though, where I think there wouldn't be enough clearance for a
tram's overhead gear - although I wouldn't have thought it beyond
the wit of engineers to use battery power plus a system for
automatically lowering the overhead gear (as on the Rome trolleybus
network).

Space for the overhead line isn't the problem. Single deck trams are much
taller than tube trains.
