The Metrolink grade separations are nice, but Metrolink has said nothing about expanding service, unlike Caltrain, which trumpets reduced travel times and higher frequencies.

So, you have local bus service in a neighborhood, but maybe you still want trolleybuses or light rail or even subway to get around. And maybe even an express Metrolink line to get further. And yes, even an HSR stop for the longer trips.... in the future, transit planners are going to have to think more and more in terms of layers.

Lots of options to improve it as demand warrants. I suspect the grade separations and improved signals that will be in use after HSR upgrades the ROW will have some effect.

Caltrain has a much better notion of modernizing commuter rail to feed HSR. It has slow, infrequent, diesel-only rail service, which doesn’t connect to much else.

And second, even if there are, the current plan is for 2-4 tph to serve Burbank, which is enough if you plan ahead.
