Quite Right notjim.

The gauge of both Luas Lines is the same and its possible to run the 40m trams on both lines with no difficulty. The tracks on the green line are spaced wider apart to allow for wider bodied vehicles passing each other( means the platform edges may need to be shaved back or else the body of the tram at the base can be narrowed with a wider section above). Some Hannover trams are built like this allowing the same platform width but a wider body above providing more seating room.

Had a run on the line today. Disapponted to see the station at Connolly not fully open yet and ticket machines not giving sample tickets as with Green Line launch but overall looks like a good service.
