Rubber-tyre tram set (TVR).

Rear end. As so many other conventional trams, TVR is unidirectional, and therefore requires reversing loops at end stations.

More specific is the licence-plate requirement, given that TVR is subject to the Highway Code, as any other road vehicle.
Conversely, the rubber-tyre tram by Lohr (Translohr), running/to run in Clermont-Ferrand, Padova, L'Aquila and Venezia (Mestre) is regarded as a railway vehicle, and is thence exempt from this requirement.
