swesl Stockholms lokalbana is a light rail system. System color should be changed from blue to green.

I've traveled some lines of the Gothenburg tram network. I think I will draft the system soon.
Note: I'm not sure if wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothenburg_tram_network) is up-to-date. I'll go with https://www.vasttrafik.se/globalassets/media/kartor/linjenatskartor/sparvagn/sparvagn-stombuss-bat_feb2024.pdf

That's making it heavier, not lighter!

Green is tier 2/Suburban Rail is  - the lokalbana does function like this (IIRC, it's converted isolated heavy rail lines)
Red is Light Rail/Heavy Tram/tier 4 - the lokalbana uses these vehicles

I felt the system was inbetween the two - so gave it the blue/tier 3 of Metro.

SL puts it to trams. So maybe red? Or purple

We're using purple for intercity/tier 1 so definitely not!

I would have no problem with red/tier 4 for the system. When I looked at it when drafting it felt a bit more like things such as the Tyne & Wear Metro or the Stadtbahns in Germany that are blue/tier 3, but there's a lot of subjectivity as to where the boundaries are.

I just wanted to say "any other color" so that users can distinugish the systems.... I've submitted the post 3 seconds before starting the engine to enter a ferry.... :D
Since SL puts it into the "tram" category, I'd say it should be tier 4 and color.... TMlightsalmon?

I'll take that and probably implement it tomorrow when I get back on my desktop.
