If it is 15-minute frequency on the ‘main-line’, then each ‘arm’ will be down to half-hour service before jumping back to 15-minute train service. This is not likely, but the description given by OC Transpo has been ambiguous.
If it is 15-minute service per ‘arm’ (7.5-minute frequency on the ‘main-line’, equally split between the ‘arms’), will there then be a big jump in headway on the ‘main-line’ from 7.5- to 15-minute service, to match the Moodie ‘arm’? Or will the Algonquin ‘arm’ have different headways than the 15-minute Moodie ‘arm’, making transfers less predictable?
Or, will the ‘Western Shuttle’, on the Moodie ‘arm’, be run at frequencies of less than 15 minutes so that it can match the Algonquin ‘arm’?
OC Transpo has talked about the train frequencies at certain times of the day, but I have not heard how the transitions are to be handled.

In the evening, when frequencies drop at 15 minutes, Line 3 will be cut-off from the main line. So Line 1 trains traveling between Algonquin and Trim will run every 15 minutes. Line 3 trains, also at a 15 minute frequency, will only travel between Moodie and Lincoln Fields, so passengers heading further will need to get off at LF and transfer to a Line 1 train.
The entire Confederation Line system will therefore run at 15 minute frequencies, but a transfer a LF will be necessary for the Moodie (Line 3) branch.

Yes. Sorry that part escaped my mind.
