15 min off peak rail, where can it be done

There is a very simple reason.

Its not an election year

Before Translink was formed in 2004 you didn't have 15 minute frequency anywhere except the weekday daytime stretch to Corinda, or the multiple line sections Park Rd-Northgate.

There were other examples of quarter-hourly service - at least on weekdays. Route 111 started in 2001, and you had several all-stops corridors (Logan Rd, Ipswich Rd, Waterworks Rd, route 375 etc). Come to think of it, the first stage of the Northern Busway, with the 333 as its flagship, arrived in February '04, with 150 becoming a BUZ route then. Nonetheless, the all-stops "tram replacement" routes have never been marketed separately, so a lot of people might not be aware of them.

I think Somebody was just talking about rail frequencies.

So what will happen to the Richlands train?
Will it just terminate at Bowen Hills and waste another cross-town service opportunity? Or will it just be an extension of the Corinda train, and then continue to Shornecliffe?

Most likely be a simple extension of the Corinda train if we're going by reality here.  

Would require minimal changes to the weekday schedules i believe.  The only major changes to the Richlands introduction would be 15 minute off-peak services introduced in the late evenings and the weekends to Darra for the first time.
