This is a real shame. I believe this would have allowed 6trains per hour each way throughout the day, bringing the service closer to real urban rapid transit.
It would also have a big impact on journey times as electric trains can accelerate and decelerate a lot quicker than the current diesel ones.
Why don't they look at variable tolling on 101 (or at least an express toll lane) and divert funds to this project? That would seem like a win win: transit users get upgraded service which would encourage more people to switch and drivers have less traffic to deal with as people move to transit, plus they can pay for a more reliable journey if they are in a rush.
