How should be move forward in terms of lightrail? #37

Light rail is in a weird spot right now. With the introduction of narrowgauge trams, some light rail vehicles are in the standard sized track depot still. Some are to be found in the tram depot. In plus, the stations of the narrowgauge are not high enough to support high floor light rail vehicles. This whole situation leaves some questions:

Light rail is pretty much the same, except they don't literally call it a mix of tram and metro no more. For most vehicles operated on light rail, you'll find that it's either a type of vehicle used for trams and light rail, or it's used for light rail and metro. Even for Stadtbahnwagen B, you can connect it to the Tyne and Wear Metro, which would tip the scales towards metro and put it in the standard gauge depot. Essentially, just think of it as "there don't exist any light rail vehicles, rather there are trams and metros which both can be used on light rail networks, sometimes requiring minor adjustments"
