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

All the UTO trains on which I have travelled do have front views.
