Maybe it'll be like the DLR, with driver's control panels, but not a

Not doing it like this was *deliberate* on Victoria and Central Line
stock. With Tube overcrowding, it would be a nonsense - it already
causes issues on the DLR, but at least the "guard" can stand upright by
the doors on non-Tube-profile stock.

It would be a complete nonsense.


I think the new trains will have lower floors, so standing upright by the
doors will be easier. In any case, would the attendant still need a full
width cab? I still remember when there were guards in the saloons (not the
rear cab) on LU Tube trains, and they just put a bar across the carriage
end when they occupied it. They seemed to have no trouble standing.
