#RailNatter Episode 21: Light Rail Is Not A Metro (and other gripes)

from #Railnatter · host Gareth Dennis

Episode 21 of #RailNatter is being hijacked as a #NotAMetro soapbox! This is one of my all-time bug-bears: what is and is not a “metro”, and why the UK in particular is fixated on calling tram systems “metros” despite them being a long way short of that. But where does the line sit? Is the DLR a metro? Is the Tyne and Wear Metro a metro? Is Thameslink a metro? Watch to see as I try to create the definitive categorisation system for railways!
