ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Hrm, I always forget that. At HCRY, I think I talked to them about this and they said the 60 mm was so insignificant for "fat" tram wheels it didn't really matter there, and they could (carefully) run equipment on the wider stance.

That could very well be the case here, too - great observation. LRV's have much wider wheels than typical rail vehicles, which also makes it more tolerant to a wider gauge.
