It's a great idea, and the Blackpool tram system over here has been known to operate preserved cars alongside their regular service fleet. Having said that, they still operate cars built in the 1930s anyway (the famed double-deck "Balloon" cars) so it's not a huge jump. Any problems are likely to be with wheelchair access and potentially safety systems - I'm not sure what's required in a modern car but I suspect older examples may have trouble meeting the new standards, certainly there is preserved heavy rail equipment that cannot now be run on the main line. Daft really, as they managed to operate perfectly safely while in regular service. I guess people then could be relied upon to have some common sense!
