(locals on the half hour with alternating for the less important stops, and expresses hourly)That was the original schedule of the Tokaido Shinkansen in 1964, except that the locals (Kodama) were all stops and expresses (Hikari) were only stopping at Nagoya and Kyoto. The number of trains doubled the next year and by 1972 there were four locals and four expresses per hour. While I don't expect the NEC to run 14 tph peak like it is now in Japan, it should run 2 locals and 2 expresses (or 1 local, 1 semi-fast and 2 expresses). The 2 expresses if run at 2h30m could kill off both the US Air and Delta shuttles. |
