    I have no quarrel about the timing from the quay to town hall as the tram is extremely slow in this section. I also have no issue with suggesting the train would be much faster if the ESR was extended to Maroubra. I found that the most useful part of the light rail is Central to Randwick Racecourse. This only takes 14 minutes which is significantly faster in peak hour then the bus. Also I think the trams were spending way too much time at each stop on Saturday and especially entry and exit speeds. Time should resolve these issues and reduce these trip times.
