The SE line was promised before the NC line, that's why the phasing was implemented this way.
The Aurora maintenance facility will be a secondary and smaller one. There isn't enough space in Aurora for the main facility.

That is a big reason why the SE will go first, there isn't a place to put the main maintenance and storage facility in the north.

The idea is do everything now that needs to be done so that the line can be extended in the future as smaller, more manageable chunks. ($300 million at a time or so).
