I'm in the dangerous place right now of my work (which I love, don't get me wrong) and personal projects overlapping a little too much so they neither are a relief from the other. Don't talk to me about graph theory for the next 15 business days, please.

in advance of some meetings tomorrow, i decided to make stringlines of the expo line
stringlines, or a time-distance graph of many trains on the skytrain expo line, in both directions. where the expo line and millennium line overlap, both have their trips shown. each trip is a line, connecting points (station stop times). the surrey branch is not shown, so king george trips disappear at columbia. service can be seen ramping up and down around the peak, which is near the center. the closer lines are vertically, the shorter the headway. what sticks out to me here is that there is non-uniform runtime variability between station pairs, which is unexpected in a schedule for a fully automated cbtc line. 

another interesting tidbit: at least according to gtfs, congenital (expo and millennium) skytrain  schedules do not include dwells and are only provided at a sixty second resolution
