There's a pretty good YouTube video from this guy out of Toronto (I think) who talked about these a week or so ago.

Knew that would be RMtransit. Great creator if you like transit topics or like to learn about infrastructure of the world around you. Weird though that they said 5 years ago that these were 'unfeasible' only to now do another study.( https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/translink-skytrain-station-platform-screen-doors-feasibility) I bet what took them so long was the all the old trains are only just being started to be phased out with the mrk 4 trains. I guess they'll have more consistent door positions once those old ones are gone. I'll be happy to have fewer track intrusion sudden stops
