Well, the purpose was essentially so that the people along the Fairmount Line corridor would be connected to downtown and have much better service than they used to, and the Blue Line would be connected to the Red and Silver Lines. The Blue Line would also no longer terminate in downtown.
I don't think anyone would really ever need to go from one end to the other, I just think that people would be going from either end to the middle. It would allow the T to not need different maintenance facitilites for different Indigo Line cars as well.
The Blue Line cars wouldn't be running on Red Line track, the Red Line tunnel would be expanded to four tracks and the platforms would be connected in the same way as the North Station superstation is now.
And if you look at a map, it wouldn't make much sense to have the High speed line that close but still that far away from the new Blue Line stop.

It would be extended to the Blue Line stop on the rail line to the left.
