I wonder if there will be measures for backwards compatibility in the transition period. Like having dual track widths.

There's only 89mm difference between the two widths - I'd guess that isn't enough room to have both on the same track.

There's already some dual-gauge track on the border with Sweden in Haparanda/Tornio[1].
