I feel like it makes more sense then for the Production Way-Columbia section to be a Millennium Line branch rather than an Expo Line branch, if the concern is not sending too many long trains to Coquitlam. Expo Line trains are already going to be racking up the KMs going from Waterfront to Langley; looping all the way around to Arbutus is an even longer distance.
