There's a good new video on Youtube of a run from Dulwich Hill to Central:

Some observations:

I looked up the dwell times I recorded on a 6-door CAF Urbos 2 for the same
trip under similar traffic conditions and the dwells on that journey were
typically around 15 to 20 seconds. On this new trip they're more like 20 to
30 seconds. I note that at one point the driver told the passengers to move
away from the doors and started the old ding dong to move them along. When
you don't have enough doors of course they're going to be slow. One day
they might stop blaming the passengers and realise that it's the decisions
of the operator/agency that fall short. Maybe they'll even realise that on
the trains and buses too.

They seem to have livened up the performance of the trams between stops, so
the overall journey time is a couple of minutes quicker than it used to be.
No doubt the removal of the delay crossing George St has helped too. I
can't believe they haven't done anything about priority at Darling Drive
(or Pitt and Castlereagh for that matter).

There's a fair bit of yaw along the way, which is hard on the tracks and
wheels and on the driver, who may need a chiropractor at some point.

The CAF sounds like it's driven by an aircraft engine, but they are pretty
quiet on the outside. The door opening is slow too.
