This stretch is being doubled, started some weeks back, but much work

looks like it will be laid to the south of the current track.


It always worked well as a single track; but I suppose this will speed up the service.


Surely it allows a more frequent service, rather than reduced journey
times.


And more robust service, so any delays to the more frequent trams won't
rapidly propagate across the system causing general chaos.
