Is that enough for a modern tram though?
Not for the large Croydon-type, but they come in many sizes and the
low-floor ones are often under 3m (excluding overhead). But low-floor
would mean rebuilding platforms along the line, and there's never been
enough money for any serious work on the island line.
Ho-ho! Aluminium-bodied stock has never been used on the island
Ah, thanks to you (and recliner) for correcting faulty memory.
