Suppose you put together a vehicle that was as long as a NET LRV but on two

I think it's technically feasible.

I just don't think we can remain in denial of the fact that the
resurgence of tramways in the UK owes everything to the light rail
concept.

I seriously doubt any city is going to build a 100% street running
tramway network, ever again.

Possibly for heritage, especially if you include pedestrianised streets
(see Istanbul).
