Removed Section
I removed this paragraph:
The Vancouver's hockey team, the Canucks' top line that consists of Markus Naslund on left wing, Brendan Morrison at centre, and Todd Bertuzzi at right wing is named the West Coast Express after the train system.
It was unnecessary, badly written, and, most of all, un verifiable. If a source is sited, it can be re-added after a rewrite. Zhatt 21:37, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
No stations between Port Moody and Vancouver Waterfront
The stretch of line between Port Moody and Vancouver Waterfront is more than half of the line length (40 mins travel time), but has no stations although it passes through the Vancouver suburbs. Can somebody explain this? Is the line too far from any settlement? --Robert Will (talk) 16:08, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- Unlike a subway/tram system, the West Coast Express is a commuter train, designed and timed primarily to carry people to work downtown in the morning and back home to the suburbs at night. The tracks in that long stretch go right along Burrard Inlet, and aren't really near anything that sufficient numbers of people from the suburbs would get off the train for. They still might build a station along there someday, but no one really seems to be screaming for one. Greg Salter (talk) 17:38, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
The stretch between Port Moody and Vancouver waterfront takes only 20 minutes, not 40 minutes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.162.234.26 (talk) 20:15, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
