I was visiting Tampere, Finland and as they are in the midst of LRT construction, I had a chance to observe how theirs was being built -- and, yes, it's quite different.
Here is their overall plan, with phase 1 (EUR 239M) in red and phase 2 (EUR 44M) in blue.
And some photos of the construction. The techniques look quite different, not only in the use of setts between the rails (which I do like!) but also the base below the rails. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can comment on the differences and the advantages/disadvantages …
