The Age this morning has published data on actual speeds on Melbourne tram routes on pages 2 and 3. The information was obtained via a freedom of information request. I have attached a screen shot of a summary graphic. The data relates to morning peak hour travel. The reason is largely due to lack of tram lane priority in some streets plus close spacing of stops plus slow loading where there are no platform stops. For those with an Age or SMH subscription, personally or through your local library you can see the article at https://edition.theage.com.au/shortcode/THE965/edition/6749849f-986e-19e8-2974-7d8dd84d0082?page=f8bed89e-3142-dd94-6652-4e44281df65c& Mal Rowe who mainly travels off peak.
