There also appears to be a small model:

Thanks for promoting my photo. ;-)
I finally got round to going to this little display (somewhat
overshadowed by the larger, brighter cupcake stand next to it), and
took a few close-up pics of my own. Obviously I know that this isn't a
scale model of an actual proposed train, but just from a firm of
designers, but I had a few observations on the model, FWIW:
This pic seems to confirm the absence of a driver's cab:

Perhaps that's just one end of the rolling stock?
It's the driving end.
The attendant is shown in the passenger saloon.
This is supposed to be a Heathrow-bound Piccadilly Line train, but I
see no space for luggage:

Early days. It really does, however, look like at 38TS Mk II
Also, it doesn't have the standard Tube livery. I wonder if this is
just the designers indulging themselves, or is TfL contemplating a new
livery for the new trains?
Indulgence, I'm guessing.
They were commissioned by TfL, so it would be odd that they seemingly
ignored TfL's current livery.
Where are the wine pictures from, BTW? I myself am partial to Rioja.
Bodegas Marqués de Riscal, Laguardia.
