Interesting idea, Greg.
A couple of things to solve:
1- How to convince the Commission that this doesn't violate the sacred "equal service from each terminus" policy.
2- How to turn an engine around, as the loop at Osier is not usable.
3- The minimum passengers needed. Deciding at a late date that are too few passengers will just create a PR disaster. You have to either run the train whatever, or not run it at all.
