While the YVR Line to Vancouver & Richmond is a short-train joke, Brisbane was able to have a proper long big city train to the airport.

Vancouver, NW and BCER history
If only Vancouver wasn't too quick to get rid of its streetcars & tram,trains in the 1950s.
However, there was just too much of a mentality to make sure that Vancouver be a perpetually stunted or thwarted city, when compared to what Melbourne, SF & Toronto can do.
NW was a provincial capital backwater & then it just continued with its small city mentality. Despite Surrey eventually becoming the largest city in backward BC, NW hardly has any bridges connecting to it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_Bridge#/media/File:A2004-002-3630-steel-bridge-18901.jpg It was as if Portland first built this single track bridge to the provincial backwater NW standard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_Bridge#/media/File:Amtrak_talgo_train_crossing_steel_bridge.jpg Then by 1912, a double track bridge more appropriate to Portland's standards opened.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Westminster_Bridge#/media/File:New_Westminster_Swing_Bridge.jpg Of course NW was still stuck with its narrow backwarter single track bridge.

Brightwater conveyance tunnel plan
http://memorieshop.com/Seattle/Brightwater/index.html
The second Herrenknecht machine (BT2), excavating the eastbound drive to the North Creek shaft and pump station, has been shut down since mid-December for extensive wear repairs to the cutterhead. With work being done under air pressure of up to 4.4 bar, compressed air maintenance crews work for 45 minutes only, followed by three hours of decompression. The machine is about 6,500ft (2,000m) into its 11,600ft (3.5km) drive.

The second Herrenknecht machine (BT2), excavating the eastbound drive to the North Creek shaft and pump station, has been shut down since mid-December for extensive wear repairs to the cutterhead. With work being done under air pressure of up to 4.4 bar, compressed air maintenance crews work for 45 minutes only, followed by three hours of decompression. The machine is about 6,500ft (2,000m) into its 11,600ft (3.5km) drive.

Vancouver, BC
The Honda Celebration of Light is not only Vancouver's biggest event, but it's also the largest offshore fireworks competition in the world and attracts up to 400,000 spectators along English Bay each evening. Owned by the Not For Profit Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society, 2014 marks the 24th consecutive year of the event, which contributes in excess of $39 million in incremental tourism and hospitality spending each year.
