  Your timings do not tally.

  2 x 12 = 24 (reasonable, as pause time is slightly longer)
  3 x 6 = 18
  4 x 3 = 12

  What it means is that when there are 2 trains, the 1st train would come back to the original stn in 24mins when there are 2 trains, 18mins when there are 3, and 12mins when there are 4. TNM to CGA alr takes 8-9mins, plus the pause time at terminus stns (1min x 2) when 4 trains are running, the minimal time needed for the 1st train to return to the original stn when 4 trains are running is 8+8+2 = 18mins.

  Thus, I feel that, when there are 2 trains, freq is about 12mins
  3 trains -> 7-8mins
  4 trains -> 4-5mins

  I thought frequency for 2 trains is 10 mins?
