FYI, this wasn't a budget issue. Doubletrack was originally intended, but the geriatrics at Richmond city council didn't like the heavy guideway ruining the quaint arterial that is No 3 Road, and wanted an at-grade LRT, but settled on single-track for less "visual impact".

Huh? King George and VCC-Clark are terminus stations with side platforms.
