Change day will happen this weekend. FrontRunner is having its schedule slowed down due to Positive Train Control implementation. (A second track sure would be nice to have right about now...)
Old Schedule:

New Schedule:
https://www.rideuta.com/-/media/File...18x.ashx?la=en

The total trip time from Provo to Ogden is now 2 hours and 7 minutes, or just five minutes longer than before. The trains will leave 3 minutes earlier from Provo and arrive in Ogden 2 minutes later, and North Temple station remains the same.

This means that a second track would now eliminate about 25 minutes from the total end-to-end run time. Electrification would cut out another 20-ish minutes. It would therefore take about an hour and 20 minutes to go end-to-end, meaning that if we use the 15-minute frequency, UTA could get away with using 12 trains instead of 18. A train every 10 minutes would require 16 trains (technically 14, but I'm adding in two more so that there's time to turn the trains around).
