That has to be the ugliest front end on a train ever devised.
I don't find it particularly ugly, quite elegant in a way, but what I
find odd is that this driverless train doesn't appear to let passengers
sit at the front, as on the DLR and the Paris Metro driverless trains.
I was also wondering about that and hope that this mock up will not turn
out to be the way of things.
The Nuremberg U-Bahn's U-3 line also allows passengers front views.
So does Copenhagen
