Why would there need to be LRT trains? Just run the whole thing with normal six car TRs (or something similar). Some of them could short turn at Kennedy (or wherever)
My idea behind it was to be 'light' rail, with smaller, shorter trains and thus smaller, shorter stations. My assumption is that light or ICTS vehicles are quieter (maybe they aren't), but I don't see it being realistic running 6-car trains overtop of streets, on tall flyover bridges, or behind homes at high frequencies. Not to mention that the curves proposed are quite tight and I don't believe are realistic with our current subways.
I wasn't aware of Gweed's point about 6-car trains being unable to run on elevated sections. This may require a rethink, and possible reconfiguration with the Scarborough Branch being interlined with Eglinton Crosstown(?).
