Isn't Waterloo also new (or completely renovated)? I remember seeing this in a London station around 2002, just can't remember which one. It's also present at the Olympic Park station in Sydney, which is very high volume after events.
It would be a great addition to new stations where the trains are standardized, but I'm not sure there's anywhere in the NYC system like that. Fulton St. is the only new/full renovation I know of but I'm not sure about the trains there.
