Just shows that they don't actually care about the idea of "Regional Rail", and have no real intention of pursuing it much further, which was obvious from the start.
Funny thing is, the Phase 1 SCR stops HAVE two tracks, the T just decided to only put in platforms for one track for all stops except for East Taunton. Not good, MBTA.
That's because the second track at all of those single platform stations are for Freight traffic to bypass without impacting the fully high-level platforms, this is the reason that the station you singled out, East Taunton, has 3 tracks.
