I don't imagine it'll be that long before that kind of demand emerges, especially with so much transit-oriented development going on. Then again, Stage 2 will increase the need for more vehicles.
I can't imagine how a 5 minute headway would work with the nightmare that is the Northfield Drive crossing. If there is a train every five minutes, that means there is one each direction an average of every 2.5 minutes.
The original plan called for two car trains starting in 2025, which also calls for 20 vehicles.
