Well if the RPA are going to base it on the Porto Metro, then maybe they will use similar trains. As I'm sure you know it will be a light metro, so trains might be something like Luas...

Also don't forget that the Luas has open plan trains (trams).

Its going to be a slightly longer Luas lookalike, something like Porto http://www.metrodoporto.pt/pagegen.asp?SYS_PAGE_ID=860045 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porto_Metro

Slightly wider too as well, Mark, no?

Can't be sure as Luas trams will share certain sections of the route so platform edges you would presume have to match, wider has been mentioned though

The pic is simular to the Luas in some ways. It has the yellow hand rails:rolleyes: , and there is a load of standing space. More than there is seats.

Thats quite common. DART was an anomaly.
