And Japan run 28 train per hour with non-CBTC block, and that's my point. You can't really get much higher than that.
London runs 36 TPH on the Victoria Line: https://www.londonreconnections.com/2017/ninety-second-railw...
I just checked Line 14 schedule and the most I can find is 34 train per hour, which is approx 105 second headway.
I am not saying that CBTC isn't capable of running higher interval than regular ATS and wayside signal (which is actually a very old technology), but in most case it doesn't matter. Even without moving block of CBTC, a very short static block (say, 100m) and in-cap signally should theoretically have the came capacity as CBTC.
