The names... meh. R&T Park was fine to me, I don't get Queen, King Central is kind of awful ("King & Victoria" or "Transit Hub" would have been fine, or even just "Victoria" since the train is moving along King, it should be at least named after the road it intersects, not the one its on!).
Very minor irritation in an otherwise so far very smooth project
There is a street Lionel-Groulx where the station is located. They could also have named the station St-Jacques but that is an east-west street and it could be confusing (Lionel-Groulx is the street it intersects, not the street it's on).
I think that was the first cross-platform transfer in Montreal. Snowdon was also an attempt at a cross-platform transfer, but it was thwarted by a lack of extension in line 5 westward.
R&T park would've worked too. Is Queen station not actually on Queen St? I thought there was also a Victoria station, but I forget.
