summary | The southbound Merritt 7 station has room for a second track but not necessarily an island platform; costs would likely run into millions due to reconstruction needs that are separate from just adding tracks.
Improving electrification systems at this point and reworking timetables can significantly cut trip times, making travel quicker between the stations. Better rolling stock could also contribute positively as well.
The main advantage of these changes wouldn't be about reducing waiting time for passengers but improving connectivity which might encourage more frequent use by people who previously didn't need to commute there - such users may now work from home less often or attend events in other areas better served with improved train times. |
