Why all this talk about 65m platforms? Don't expect any major expansion on the Canada Line until at least 2040. 50m platforms + 55m long trains will do just fine until then. I just don't see Richmond greatly expanding, housing there is becoming overpriced for the privilege of living on soil that could liquify in the event of a major earthquake.

No, it'll be maximum 2.5m. We're just starting to get way too ahead of ourselves, unless they want to do the West Coast Express thing where we're doing 9-car and soon 10-car trains on platforms only designed for 7-cars.
