Interesting stuff, thanks.

I'd Be curious what the fleet requirement would be with the headway reduced from 6 to 4 minutes?

Any information on how many substation still need to be upgraded?

Prototype Delivery & Acceptance (4)
Serial Production (124) Phase I and II Silver line
Growth Railcars 75% 8 car trains (130)
4000 Mid-Life Rehab. Railcars (100)
Fleet Enhancement Railcars (300) 1k replacement
Growth Railcars 100% 8 car trains(90)

I think the issue with replacing the 4k cars with 7k has more to do with difference in the additional cost of making them more crash worthy compared to the cost of building replacements.
