They can but it needs special regulations and the trains can't run on 25KV AC overhead wires. It has to be 750V DC (on the Manchester Metro).Trains and trams can't mix by law in the UK and the overheads wires arent the same
A section of the Tyneside Metro Newcastle-South Shields/Sunderland (1500V DC overhead line) is shared with National Rail (Diesel) operation.
