Are there any railfan friendly cars on LU or DLR??


Not on LU, as all trains have full-width cabs front and rear which are
not accessible to passengers and with no windows between them and the
passenger areas.

I do seem to recall, when I used to commute on the Northern Line, that
the older trains had a small aperture in the door into the driver's
cab containing the emergency candle that had glass either side and you
could get a view forward by squinting through this. I did get rather
strange looks from other passengers as it appeared that I was looking
directly at a solid door. Sad, eh !!
