[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] MA, If you are getting 3 hours from Analheim to Santa Clarita there is something wrong with the picture. That may be today's schedule when the preumed destination of most of the Metrolink passengers is LAUS, but it won't be for a situation when Santa Clarita (if this really comes about) will be the origin of trains to the Bay area, and hence a major destination for Metrolink and other LA basin transportation services. A better analaysis would be to take the Anaheim to LAUS and LAUS to Santa Clarita times and add about 10 minutes. If they are half-way intelligent (fat chance) trains will be scheduled to give about a 10 minute cross platform transfer time at Santa Clarita. I do not know wheter the $98 million includes the terminal segments or not, but I think it does. Their delay in scheduling is simple recognition of reality. In particular, given the local fanatic NIMBYism on the San Francisco Penninsula, it is simply beating your head against a wall to try to include it in the initial construction phase. If only Merced to Bakersfield to Palmdale is built and the line operated with diesels and a 110 mph speed limit, amd the trip begun on Metroline and finished on Caltrain, you should be able to beat 7 hours end to end.
