Just clarifying a point you made. :)  I'm sure with creative timetabling a 15
minute service could be achieved to all stations.  You would have to have trains
terminating at Wynyard off the shore, or it would muck it all up reducing the
service to 2 every 15 minutes at Town Hall.  I'm not sure how they would run the
ESR - if you had one train every 15 minutes going around the Silly Circus,
trains on the ESR would double the number of trains at Town Hall to one every
7.5 minutes.  That could wreck everything!  They could always run non stop from
Sydenham to Martin Place.  On the Carlingford line, they could still have one
train every 15 minutes, but it would have to be going a different direction each
time.  Then again, that takes up Clyde's quota for the quarter hour, so no other
trains could stop there!
