Apologies if this has been mentioned before...
But what is the advantage of Tram-Trains over "conventional" trains..? The tram-trains will be high floor, be mainly powered by 25kv wires (but also batteries) and only run on the street for a few hundred metres at Cardiff bay. Why not regular trains like Civitys or FLIRTs on those routes? They could add batteries to regular trains (might be cool) and have full walk through carriages
I just don't get the point.
