Bergen Light Rail Route 1
The Bergen Light Rail (or «Bybanen» in Norwegian) is a single line, with all the departures doing the full route, from Byparken (in the city centre) to the airport and vice versa.The route can be summarised like this:
The trams use platform B (my designation) at Byparken if vacant, and A if not. At the airport the trams turn back after the station, so arriving trams use platform B and departing trams use platform A.
We start with the route definition file:

Rows staring with # are ignored. Use them to add comments for humans
reading the file.
The first column is a unique stop identifier. It consists of two uppercase letters and three digits. The chosen letters «BB» stand for «Bergen Bybanen».
The second column is the platform in the Down direction (towards «Bergen lufthavn» in this case). The travel time from the previous stop is 1 minute, unless another value is specified after a colon.
The third column is the platform in the Up direction (towards «Byparken» in this case). See above.
The fourth column is the stop name. It can contain spaces, and some of them do.
See the Oslo Metro » Route 1 article for the full explanation of the syntax of this file.

summary
Use the «down» argument to set the starting time of the first departure in the Down direction, and «up» argument to do the same for the Up direction. The default is 0. Use «interval» to set the interval (between departures). The default value is 10.
Running it:
$ networkplanner bergen-bybanen/bergen-bybanen-1a.setup
This gives the following summary:

The required number of vehicles
We need a file specifying how to set up the routes (or route, in this case): File: bergen-bybanen/vehicles-1.def
=0100
1 D Byp/1;Byp 5
1 U Fle/1;Fle 10
The first row gives the number series for the vehicles.
The second row specifies the departure on route 1 in the Down (D)
direction. The third field is the name to use in the vehicle list. If a
second name is specified after a ;, that will be used on the
arrival rows. («Fle» is short for Flesland, the name of the airport.) The
fourth field is the minimum layover time (in minutes).

It is easy to read out the layover times; 6 minutes at Byparken, and 14 minutes at the airport.
Saving Money
Let us see if we can save some money by reducing the number of vehicles. Let us try reducing the frequency from a tram every five minutes to one very six minutes: File: bergen-bybanen/bergen-bybanen-1c.setup
## Networkplanner ##

Running it shows that we have reduced the number of required trams from 21 to 18. That is almost a 15% reduction.

The layover time at Byparken has increased to 10 minutes. We can reduce that by adjusting the departure times in one or both directions. Let us do it at the airport end:
File: bergen-bybanen-1d.setup
## Networkplanner ##

vehicles vehicles-1.def
We have reduced the required number of trams by 1, and the layover time is still acceptable:

Total number of vehicles: 17
Higher Frequency
Let us say that the demand (number of passengers) is higher on the part of the route nearest the city centre than towards the airport. Let us assume that it is possible to turn back at e.g. Lagunen, which has a siding.
We can set up a new route 9 for this, using the short running feature:

The layover time at Byparken is 5 (route 9 ⇾ 1) and 5.5 (route 1 ⇾ 9) minutes.
The layover time at Lagunen is 11 minute.
Route 9 arrives at Lagunen platform B at 05 minutes past the hour. Route 1 departs from platform A 05,5 minutes. (The previous tram in route 9 departs from the siding at 06 minutes, and arrives at platform A at 07 minutes.) The current tram on route 9 departs from platform B at 07.5 minutes, and arrives in the siding at 08.5 minutes. Then route 1 arrives at platform B at 08.5 minutes.
The next thing that happens is that the next route 9 arrives at platform B at 12.5 minutes, and route 1 arrives at platform A at 13 minutes. Route 1 departes, the previous route 9 departs from the siding, and the current route 9 departs to the siding.
It works, theoretically.
Lagunen ⇆ Råstølen
The very next stop (Råstølen) has a much better layout, with a third track in the middle. This makes it possible to terminate without blocking both tracks when turning back (as at Lagunen).
The travel time between these two stops is 2 minutes, in both directions. Let us see how that turns out, for our route 9:
Route 9 arrives at platform C at 07 minutes, and departs at 14 minutes. 7 minutes should be ok. The next route 9 arrives at 14.5 minutes. That is tight, but much more robust than terminating at Lagunen.
I'll leave it as an excercise for the readers to amend the files so that route 9 terminates at Råstølen.
Bergen currently has 28 light rail vehicles, so my modified network is feasible. Until Route 2 opens in late 2022.
