No, the current SIR line is fine as a heavy rail line. Now about the North Shore branch, trying to reactivate it as a heavy rail line may be a little costly and may prove time consuming, so light rail may be the best way to go for that line to reduce costs and get it off the ground already.Whatever mode they use for the new lines, if they ever are built, I think it'd make sense to make all lines on the island the same mode. That is, if they build light rail lines, convert the SIRT; otherwise build the new lines to use SIRT equipment. I say this just because it would make life easier back at the maintainence facility, you know, one manual, one training course, etc. Also the same equipment could be used on all lines that way. |
