  • I am certainly not but imho…

    You would need many places to overtake since the normal trams go super slow by stopping every couple hundret meters.

    And even if the cargo ones go slow as well you would need many more switches/sidings to places where you can (un)load them and switches are expensive to maintain

    So even though the concept is super nice, it often times lacks the practicality as well as the financial benefits to convince networks to get it stated in the first place













  • I can afford enterprise-grade drives. It is rather that I have little to no clue about the reliability and failure-rates of different manufacturers/models.

    And how different are these from consumer-grade ones? Is it cheaper to buy expensive drives once instead of multiple cheap ones one after another or do the quality differences not matter that much at all?
