Great point. The propulsion and electrification is different between the two, that's about it. For that reason, SkyTrain
must be grade separated (please, nobody correct me
), and LRT
can be grade separated.
Anyways, I fear that we may be hemming off-topic and the last several posts should be in the transit fantasies thread.
For this "lost" station, I completely agree with the others. It would add too much complexity to the interlining, add far too much cost for the added benefit of just a few people, and overall further inflate Corrigan's ego to the point of possibly encouraging him to start his own army to invade Vancouver.
