FOR UK TRAM AT TRANSPORT HQ

How do you distinguish between light rail and heavy rail?

When is a tram a train and a train a tram?

Is it sensible to have on a former mainline railway between Worcester and Derby, a conversion that will eventually mean, at best, two changes?  One from train to tram at Stourbridge Jct and a second change from tram to train at Walsall station to get to Derby.

Or, it might mean, from train to ultra-light rail at Stourbridge Jct to Brierley Hill; change to light rail to Wednesbury for the bus to Walsall railway station to get the train, again for Derby.

How do all these changes make sense in encouraging users to move from car driving to public transport?
