Monorail really needs to speed up ops abd get 8 trains on

They don’t have 8 trains left, not likely I’m afraid.

They do there just parked in the sidings

They don’t as at least 1 has been cannibalised for parts.

Plus as has been said with the new requirement to stop trains before the plaza at Towers Street end they will never be able to run that many trains. They would have to build evacuation platforms on the bend so it won’t be cheap.

Maybe one day.

Even if they had that many trains, the current batching procedures would lead to long stacks of trains, which would not benefit throughput.

Has it ever ran 8 trains at once? Even in the glory days I can only remember 6 going at once.

I remember six early on, one going in, one coming out of the station, and one on track, each "side".
Always one train loading at peak times, fill and away as the next headed into the station, absolute queuemuncher of a constant slow shuffle, just like Oblivion used to be when they ran that at capacity.
Don't think it ever ran any more, did it?
