Unless the Metrolink consortium gets Swanston trams, I would say it is
most likely that the different franchises will get different trams. I
believe that Alstom and Adtranz (and maybe Siemens?) are in consortiums
of their own, and I imagine that any bidders that don't have a
manufacturer as part of their consortium already have a preferred
manufacturer selected.
