Subway railway station platform

Hi,
I am looking for a subway platform to connect to https://www.daz3d.com/subway-terminal and https://www.daz3d.com/subway-tunnel-environment. I have https://www.daz3d.com/the-tube-station in my wish list. I don't know if it will fit the train in the Subway Tunnel Environment that I really like as it is the closest design to the local Metro trains where I live.
Ideally I would like a wide platform with rails each side so the platform can service both North and South bound trains. Also being able to have the staircase in Subway Terminal match up as the entry and exit point from the platform. Naturally, having arrival/departure signs both sides.
Thank you for your consideration.

Subway stations which have rails on both side of a central platform:

https://www.daz3d.com/the-central-district-subway-station (pre-iray)
https://www.renderosity.com/marketplace/products/158228/subway-station-for-daz
These have 2 sets of rails but they're at the center:

You might also be able to kitbash something using 2 sets of stations which only have one track and removing the central walls.
Thanks Leana. The CyberPunk Subway could easily suit my needs as it's a modular model I can not load the second platform and load 2 straight walls, change the texture on the top windows and I have an older stype subway station to suit my needs. I must admit I skipped over this model as the first several promo pictures were too busy. Great artistic renders but they tend to hide how good the model actually is. The matching train caught my attention earlier as it would suit as an earlier style train.
Still, having said the above, my original suggestions stands if I can get something similar to the picture I posted.
Closest I could think of would be Neo Station, which is positvely antique (pre-Iray would be putting it mildly): https://www.daz3d.com/neo-station
Neo is a surface station, I think, because of the skylights. That said, they can probably be resurfaced with concrete/cement shaders.
i guess you could kitbash something.
quixel assets/materials are all free if you download them using an unreal engine account.
Attached is how i kitbashed the cyber subway many years ago for my own purposes (abandoned project and WIP!). Im not necessarily endorsing this product, since I remember the subway scene being kind of annoying to deal with, and even though it is modular, it's not super modular. At some point, it's easier to just build environment completely from scratch from Quixel assets or similar than having to work with limitations of pre-made set.
I bought https://www.daz3d.com/cyberpunk-subway-station last night (my time). Just doing a first (quick and dirty) render. I did try the train from https://www.daz3d.com/subway-tunnel-environment onto the tracks but it is too wide, which is disappointing. I might try a bit of kit bashing just using the centre platform module.
I did a kit bash. I used the platform and stairs from https://www.daz3d.com/cyberpunk-subway-station and the roof sections to fill gaps. There are two different shapes as stand alone props. I used the tunnels from https://www.daz3d.com/subway-tunnel-environment they came in straight, left curve and right curve. The are two piece, track, floor, wall and partial roof, with a connecting piece that covers the other wall and a short piece of the roof. I used the straight for the outer wall and rotated it for the other side. I used the surfaces tab and hid the sections of the stairs I didn't need. I used the curved and straight full tunnels to fill the areas at the end of the platform. I then Used the hanging TV from https://www.daz3d.com/fg-newsroom for the next train information. It is very much a WIP and is proceeding well.
Thanks for the advice peoples, greatly appreciated. The attached was a few renders ago. Clothing https://www.daz3d.com/metro-style-outfit-for-genesis-8-and-81 actor https://www.daz3d.com/teen-iffy-for-genesis-81-female
