The line is solely operated with the TTC's newer Toronto Rocket (TR) subway trains, which are based on Bombardier's Movia family of trains. Unlike other trains in the Toronto subway rolling stock, the TR trains have a "six-car fixed" articulated configuration with full-open gangways, allowing passengers to walk freely from one end to the other.

Vancouver International Airport plans a 4th runway

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/richmond-vancouver-international-airports-plans-3rd-runway

Sea_Island should never have been part of Richmond
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-international-airport-expansion-yvr-2037

The Vancouver_International_Airport should have always been within the city limits.
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-international-airport-richmond-noise-runway-yvr

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver_International_Airport#Rapid_transit_(SkyTrain)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YVR-Airport_station This almost shows what a 4 car train would be like. Unfortunately, it's just a 2 car joke of a train, when all the Canada_Line stations should have been designed to eventually accomodate 8 car trains.
