Why do you guys keep calling it LRT? LRT is typically a designation for intraurban transport, not interurban.
Electrified interurban transit typically uses EMU's. Sure, it could be LRV's (and there are a handful of European places where they do this as an extension of an existing tramway), but hardly anyone does that. Intercity is heavy rail.
...and this is why I keep saying "Wait for the line to be electrified by GO/Metrolinx" - because once it is, boom, it's all done. You just need to buy a couple more trains.
