Line-of-sight is obviously subject to human error, but I think in other equivalent installs of CBTC on subway-surface tunnels (SF and Philly) capacity has actually gone down, in part because no signal system is OK with double-berthing.

Without double birthing you could at least run trains that take advantage of the platform length as long as the surface sections could handle it

Yeah that's one of the things they've been kicking around forever and are now finally looking at. It's complicated because the entire GL system is just such a mess.

The key is separating the B/C from the D/E. By extending Huntington Av to Brookline and building a Stuart St subway you in effect create two systems, one for high capacity light rail and the other streetcars.pic.twitter.com/F7V5FCa9en

I'm a big fan of a Blue Line extension past Charles to Kendall, then onto Grand Junction alignment, then out as far as Riverside, Lower Falls, beyond

(also it's a small branch but it's not like Lower Falls has service now)
