The UK's Midland Main Line being upgraded in 2014. A structure gauge, also called the minimum structure outline, is a diagram or physical structure that sets limits to the extent that bridges, tunnels and other infrastructure can encroach on rail vehicles. It specifies the height and width of station platforms, tunnels and bridges, and the
e. In rail transport, track gauge (in American English, alternatively track gage) is the distance between the two rails of a railway track. All vehicles on a rail network must have wheelsets that are compatible with the track gauge. Since many different track gauges exist worldwide, gauge differences often present a barrier to wider operation
There's no difference between a tram and a LRT other than branding so it's a bit of a weird question. Seattle's LRT transit is atypical from most other trams in that its fairly long distance with significant distance between stops. It should have been built as a heavy metro instead, most of the infrastructure being the same except the signalling. Direct trains (IC and Railjet services) are running between Flughafen Wien and Wien Hauptbahnhof (Main Station) every half an hour. The trip costs the same as the S-Bahn (2 x 2.20 for two zones) and only takes 16-18 minutes. At Main Station, there is connection to the underground line U1 and to several tram and bus lines.Along with the Manila Metro Rail Transit System and the Metro Commuter Line of the Philippine National Railways, the system makes up Metro Manila's rail infrastructure. The LRT's 37.24-kilometer-route (23.14 mi) is mostly elevated and consists of two lines and 33 stations. Line 1, also called the Green Line (formerly known as the Yellow LineThe straighter standard gauge line was built on a big budget in 1970 to allow long, heavy standard-gauge trains to travel at faster speeds. (Click to enlarge.) The 3 ft 6 in ( 1,067 mm) narrow gauge was introduced to Australia in 1865, when the Queensland Railways opened its first railway from Ipswich to Grandchester.
My concern with “Trackless Trams” is that unlike Traditional Light Rail, “Trackless Trams” can easily be taken away as with a Traditional Light Rail it’s more permanent. They may as well have just built a Brisbane/Adelaide style busway instead, at least it’s easy and cheap to build and it’s more familiar than “trackless trams”.
