Past SkyTrain studies have suggested the opposite

with emphasis on the high ridership line to Surrey.

That open pathway of land along Quibble Creek is because of the powerlines. Is it possible to fit in an elevated guideway and the existing powerlines? I am not sure, but it sounds nightmarish, even though it would be an elegant solution if possible.
As for the the splitting of lines causing a reduction in headways mentioned by MC, I would counter that's not totally accurate; there are many creative solutions that can be had for interlining. I have mentioned these ideas before in the TF thread discussing the North Shore, and these ideas have been reaffirmed through the recent planning done for RRT to the NS. I don't have the sources on hand but they are out there if one goes digging.
