Yes, but that's exactly the reason that interlining of the Bloor and University lines was abandoned in Toronto in 1966.
Passengers did not know which platform to go to catch the "next" train (even though there were flip signs).
It may not be an issue at peak frequency, but if there is 4-5 minutes between trains, going to the wrong platform means a 8-10 minute wait or more depending on the ratio of M-Line and Expo Line trains.
If you "just miss" a train at one platform, do you go down and up to catch the train at the other platform, or wait for the next one at the platform you are on?
i.e. What if the ratio of trains is 3 (M-Line) to 1 (Expo Line), and you are on the Expo Line platform (having just missed a train with doors closed in your face?).
Which also the reason we are puzzled by the switch placement and future platform arrangement at Coquitlam Central.
