I can't find a tram related newsgroup.

I've sometimes wondered why modern tramcar makers don't make double
deckers. Yes, modern artics swallow lots of people quickly but they also
take up a lot of space. A double deck artic (with connections at both
levels)

How would the upper floor connection cope with vertical curves?

That's an engineering detail (he said having no idea what the answer is!).

Not insoluble but possibly expensive.

Have the universal joint at floor level with the upper deck instead of at
floor level with the lower deck. Fairly simple.
