Anyway I think Omnidekkas or buy omnicity dd would be prefect for 27 or upgrade.
I'd say if anything, they'd need to throw extra resource at the current 12 minute frequency, rather than cut it further. Baring in mind that it was originally cut from 10 to 12 minutes to improve reliability. It's still a busy route, especially given DB's inability to run a Metro system.
