Thanks! Your spreadsheet calculates the difference at five minutes per direction, and without rounding it's about 10 minutes per direction. Of course, this doesn't take traffic lights into account (or assumes that the LRT has priority).
Still, 5-10 minutes improvement per direction is good. Reduce the dwell time to 45 seconds and we could see a 15-minute improvement in the end-to-end time.
Curves ... I don't know how much improvement can be had there. But, based on the current sound of steel-to-steel contact, I do wonder whether the lubricators are working at full efficiency.
