Dont know how they plan to run transfers but B to C should be possible by clearing security in B and boarding "sterile" train to C or by boarding "non sterile" train to A from C getting off at B and clearing security there. Might be a bit complex though!
Could there be an arrangement like in FRA, where there are two carriages per train, one sterile, one non-sterile? At each station, they simply open their doors on the appropriate side. Or have I missed the point?
