Trams do occupy parts of the road, but the point of trams is to get people off the roads so problem solved.

Just think it through SFE, Dave Rowland has it exactly right.

Passing loops seem to be the right way to go. Look at the Altrincham line, it used to be four tracks to it would require little work to install here.
Using parking spaces will discourage the use of cars in the city. They work in other places obviously proven is some of the pics I provided to there is not any real reason why ir should not work. With signalling improvements you can have a higher frequnecy of trams. One option is to link a freight and passenger tram and detach them when needed.

make deliveries first thing in the morning and/or at night when frequency is less Although most shops want deliveries round the back don't they? ![]() |

aaah, but, it could also depend on the stock used for it.
have a depot, loading pallets onto the specially designed wagon with a motorised offload system. It would make sure that the shop owners are there for the delivery every time as the freight tram would be timetabled |

What about the Pic Vic tunnel?
They did build it, but filled it in. Why not dig it out and let the shops get freight from down there. Sounds expensive.

This cournty built an Empire that spanned a quarter of the globe and in the process built 100s of thousands of miles of railways around the world. This is fairly cheap and easy compared to that.
