In Melbourne, Australia, there are trams that can run on the train system under the name Light Rail.
But the lines are no longer used by trains. This is not sharing, rather conversion.
The British systems Manchester Metrolink and Tyne & Wear Metro were similar conversions.
More information on train-trams and tram-trains can be found here: http://citytransport.info/Share.htm
Could "Schnellbahn" (spelling?) from Karlsplaz, Wien (Vienna), Austria to Baden be considered Tram-train? -- 78.0.95.141 ( talk) 21:17, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
"The Karlsruhe system also uses an "Automatic Train Protection" signalling system" do all tram-trains use this. Is it true that no trams in Europe have vigilance control in any form?
": Telling about the train part in Germany: yes, it is called INDUSI or PZB, otherwise running in parallel with "normal" trains would not be allowed; regarding "vigilance control" the "Totmannknopf" or "Totmannpedal" need to be operational on train sections as well.
By totmannknopf/pedal do you mean a control the driver must hold continuously or a button the driver must press perodically. Whatever it is, I beleive (but I don't know) it may be operational on tram sections as well. This information could go into the article tram controls. Myrtone@Tram-train.com.au
There also is/was a proposal to use tram-train vehicles on part of the Midland Metro (the Wednesbury - Brierley Hill route) so as to allow for rail freight on the line. Aboodoo ( talk) 17:29, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
What is the difference between a tram-train and a train? Is it just a question of branding (as "light rail"'s key distinction appears to be its separation from the main rail system), or is there a technical way to distinguish what belongs here from what doesn't?

It lacks citations, it is mostly a list of questionable accuracy and validity and it does not define terms well... Hobbitschuster ( talk) 16:23, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
