Does that mean the Variobahn trams can't go that way now? Looking at the
West Croydon tram stop on Google Streetview that's obviously not the
case so I don't understand this point.


I think the Variobahns do go everywhere now.

IIRC there have been discussions about coupling trams together, or
buying longer ones to replace the CR4000s as and when they reach the
end of their lives.


Perhaps they might be interested in some spare Edinburgh trams?

There are also issues about getting trams through
various traffic lights - it has been said that there is some rule
that only one tram can go through per light cycle, which causes
issues.


Good grief! Why?
