I keep hearing 90m trams. Are people confusing 90m trams with 90 second frequency? I know Rod does.

Of course if Stephens Green had been built correctly it would have two 100m+ platforms so you could stack trams up as is common in Europe

I've seen 5 trams in Stephens Green (with another arriving, still on Harcourt Street). The problem is you can't add trams to the back of the queue, you would either need a turning circle or an extra set of points.
