Suppose you put together a vehicle that was as long as a NET LRV but on two

I think it's technically feasible.


I just don't think we can remain in denial of the fact that the
resurgence of tramways in the UK owes everything to the light rail
concept.


Given that tramways are, by definition, a light rail concept, that's
stating the blindingly obvious.
