In fact, we don't even have enough train to increase Expo capacity, as the spare ratio is already so low compared to other cities. So even if TransLink called BCRTC, they'll say "we don't have enough trains"  |
Well...duh...

One thing that does bug me with the Evergreen Line though is why do they need a double track at Douglas - Lafarge station, including the tail track? Why can't it be single track like the end of the Airport or Richmond?
I just couldn't imagine extending Evergreen Line towards Westwood Plateau, and if is to be extended, its going to be from Coquitlam Central anyway. So having the station and/or tail track be single does make sense, and it would also look nicer for something that will truly be the end of the line.
My biggest fear is the tail track of Evergreen would look similar to the King George Station tail track, which is ugly and makes it so incomplete (of course, for King George, it should really be extended further).
