As mentioned before, it would be hard to interline this routing on 2 separate main lines (Expo and Evergreen), and maintain a regular schedule. It's better use of resources to have the two mainlines going, and a shuttle in between. As BCPhil mentioned, for peak service, you'd have the Waterfront-Lougheed or Waterfront-King George in place for train efficiency, but in off-peak, you could look at doing only a shuttle service between Columbia-Lougheed as there won't be as much movement through Columbia.
I personally would like during rush hour a 3 KG/1 Lougheed split, and a 2 KG/1 Lougheed split from Waterfront, I think that would provide the most transit friendly service.
