on the other hand, several light rail systems have high-platform stops or stations with dedicated platforms at railway platform height. reasons for this include systems being created from former heavy rail routes (as in the case of the metrolink system in greater manchester, england), or to provide a more rapid transit-like commuting experience (such as the metro rail system in los angeles, california). such trams also stop at dedicated platform stops on stadtbahn systems in germany, especially in underground stations in city centres.
