I know there is some very tight curves but nothing a class 142 pacer unit can't handle. This would be great as a special seeing one of these in the city streets.

And to prevent light rail and heavy rail vehicles coming into contact it would have to run in the middle of the night when all the Metrolink trams were safely tucked in bed....................Now there's a thought, a Pacer railtour bouncing around the streets of Manchester on its flanges in the middle of the night. It could be called "The Vomit Dodger"

It could be done as there is the same gauge and height restrictions for this type.
