Journey times should be reduced by two minutes and line capacity increased.
Another serious problem, from the railways' point of view, was line capacity.
It is designed to increase line capacity by up to 40% and to further shorten travel times.

It is expected to decrease waits between trains and increase line capacity.
Automatic reels tend to be heavy for their size, and have limited line capacity.
