Fast electric trams?

For some time I have been searching for an Adelaide tram timetable from when the H type trams were running and today I found it.

I recalled having a very fast ride one evening in 2006 at the very end of H type operation.

During the day, the time from Moseley Square in Glenelg to Victoria Square was 29 minutes.

From the 5:40pm tram on that time was dropped to 24 minutes - requiring some fast running.

I had a very fast, and enjoyable ride accompanied by the scream of straight cut gears. My pic attached.

I compared the current journey time - with new fast trams and one (or two?) extra tram overpasses on the route.

Not impressed!  The published timetable does not show a time at Victoria Square, but the time from Moseley Square to South Terrace is 27 minutes.

I assume at least another 3 or 4 minutes would pass by before the tram arrived at Victoria Square.
