Evolution of the Vancouver SkyTrain 1985-2035

The first 2 lines only have stations that can accommodate the new 5 car trains, not 8-10 cars. 

Unfortunately, the Canada Line wasn't designed to accommodate 5 car trains, only a 2.5 car joke of a train.

Eventually, a 5 car train could have an extra car at each end to become 7. 

Despite initial cost cutting measures, the Canada_Line still could have been designed to eventually have 160 m long stations, not 160 foot joke stations.
