What subway station has downtown trains on the same platform that run in different directions? Friends of mine have a slight advantage, since obviously I've been on this subway platform recently.

Yaco Mink gets the gold star! I was hoping this would be harder.

My B train stopped at 7th ave with a sick passenger on Monday morn and I was very confused hooping on an E across the platform.

I forget which station it is exactly, but either Jay St/Borough Hall or Hoyt/Schemerhorn have something like this going too with the A/C and the F or the G!

Hoyt/Schemerhorn has it, but only when the F train is under construction, so it doesn't quite count. Also, in those circumstances, the "downtown" train is no longer going "downtown" once it's heading back into Manhattan.
Furthermore, Brookyln is not downtown! It is othertown!
Love the effort, though, thanks for playing.
