> I can't think of any platforms that are shared by trains on different trunks.

* 2/5 - Flatbush in Brooklyn, White Plains Road in the Bronx

* E/F, M/R - Queens Blvd

* A/B/C/D - Central Park West

* F/G - Culver

* B/D/N/Q - South Brooklyn

* J/M/Z - Broadway (Brooklyn)

> There's also the obvious solution of using the L and G as the system test case (yet again).

The L was considered for a platform door pilot during the shutdown. It was shelved in favor of bringing full accessibility to Union Square. IMO platform doors are quite far down the list for things that we could spend billions of dollars on, rather than full accessibility, or speeding up CBTC, or what have you, especially given the complexity vs benefit ratio.
