Nobody is talking about interlining the L with the 7. What is a possibility though is connecting the L terminus with the 7 tail tracks south of Hudson Yards, creating the opportunity of terminating the L at Hudson Yards. There is one other instance of the IRT sharing a station platform with the BMT/IND and that is Queensboro Plaza. That cross platform interaction obviously is not a terminal for either division, so the logistics of terminating the L at HY would be challenging. It would perhaps require significant modifications or even a seperate station just to the south of the HY station connected by passageway. Of course this begs the question, what is easier?... Running the 7 southward on the current non-revenue tail tracks with extension to 14th St or extending the L through a new connector to the 7 tail tracks up to a terminal at HY? My personal feeling is that an extended L would have more utility (considering Queens patrons could take the E to 14 St and current access to the west side from north Brooklyn is limited) but come at a higher cost due to afformentioned modifications to the current station layout, but a southward 7 connected to 8 Av/14 St L requiring it's own station terminal would be equally expensive, so perhaps it's a wash.
