From information to action

How to approach the decision

Editorial planning advice based on the confirmed systems above.

Separate ordinary tram compatibility from tram-train capability.
Inspect street intersections as well as tram stops.

A mistake to avoid

Not every tram is established as rail-capable.

Unverified values and test limits

Unknown values and independent test scope

Roster, consist limits and compatible infrastructure per vehicle.

Official documentation, historical developer statements and editorial inspection advice have separate scopes. Exact unobserved values remain Unknown. A published global patch does not establish an independent test of this guide.
