ahh okay, that makes sense.

hmm. is that because they have to leave the station going east, to double back going west? im not sure how that whole station works. i've taken the Expo-Line 2x in my life.
but im a big fan of SkyTrain, great technology. i am glad we got it back in the 1980s, and stuck with it.
i still think every station renovation should upgrade platform lengths to handle 6 car trains. that way in 25yrs when its needed, we will be ready.
