I rather doubt that Vancouver would reach that stage for many, many decades.

I disagree. Vancouver's lengthy commuter skytrain route would benefit from aggregator stations for express trains to expedite long haul service. I for one would rather not have to stop at every intermediate station from end-to-end coming in from Surrey to downtown Vancouver.
Since Vancouver's trains are automated and driver-less, couldn't the express trains be programmed to 'pass' slower local trains by crossing over to the other side, then back again? Essentially weaving through slower traffic. I wonder if anyone has run a simulation of this?
