Translink PT performance dashboard (Q3 2024-25)

Ignoring the 5 newest trams acquired for the extension - with 18 trams they can reliably run 6-7 minute headways from Helensvale to Broadbeach with all but 2 on the road. I haven’t sat down and done the maths properly but assume they probably need about another 5-6 to bump the headway to every 6 minutes on a daily basis - fewer if they just want to be able to run a more intensive service when there are special events on.

Do you think it would also be possible to achieve a more gradual increase/decrease in frequency before and after 7pm? I’m pretty convinced that 10 minutes would be ideal between 7pm and 11pm.
