No its actually called a people catcher. It lowers automatically when the trams detects a collision and to prevent the wheels from causing further injury to a pedestrian.
There used to be a persistent rumour in Dublin that the two lines had different track gauges. Do you have any idea where that story came from? Now that the lines are connected, it's fairly easy to disprove, but I'm sure some people still believe it.
The track gauge is the same but the two running lines on the green line are further apart eg. a wider loading gauge. The tracks are spaced further apart for future conversion to metro which would have wider vehicles. Obviously the platforms would need to be moved back but no changes to the track would be required.

+The Irish Mainline It certainly is! We visited Inchicore today and have permission to upload those videos as well. Thanks for watching.
Is that bar at 1:16 always resting on the track, even when running, is it for clearing debris of the line ?
