Are all these trams going to share the road like in the old days, and
like you have in most of Europe eg Prague, or are they going to be in
a sort of raised lane just for the trams?

The entire length of the Cross River Transit will have two dedicated or
nearly-dedicated tracks: nearly dedicated, in so far as only local access
traffic will be allowed in. If you cunningly alternate sections where cars
are only allowed to share the northbound track with sections where cars are
only allowed to share the southbound track, you end up with cars still able
to get to all of the side roads, but the tram route is no longer of any use
to through traffic. Tram sensors will control all of the traffic lights
which allow the local access cars onto the tracks, so that nothing should
hold the trams up. The only place the trams won't have complete control of
everything is where the route crosses the Euston Road.
