  Mark I don't think there is a second platform under Donland's Station.
I don't recall any mysterious doors at the platform level.  The doors
at the platform level are storage closets for the cleaners.  I know that
there has some remodelling in recent years, but that was to accomandate
the street level for passenger transfers. 

  I used to get off at that station to go to high school.  Just east of the
Donlands station, the eastbound track dips and there is a fork to the right
then rises to the greenwood yards.  West from Coxwell, the track
will fork to the left over the eastbound track to create a second 'Y'
interchange.  This track leads to the Greenwood yards.  What is possible
is that there may be a rough-in for a station off that fork.  Only the
operators may know for sure.  Has anybody asked a friendly driver/condutor. 

  As you might know, There was talk of a queen st. subway line that would
run from the Dowtown Area east then curve north to/thru the greenwood yard
and connect with the Bloor-Danforth line.  (I know that is not a priority
item in the city's transit plans). 

Of course, I have been wrong before :-).
