Route 96, on which these trams run, is every six minutes at peak

Half the size then they can run every 3 minutes.
Twice as many drivers required

But running large trains during the day mean infrequent services. Some

If a rapid-transit urban railway has frequent services people use it
True: our airport express bus runs every ten minutes so you don't need a
timetable and there's a recognition that this is the ideal for trains,
trams and buses. But it would come at a cost.


It is how bus srevices used to be run years ago.
Local buses came every 20 minute when I was lad.
Timetables didn't exist.

Too thick to draw them up presumably where you came from.
