I'm surprised the driver CAN turn the lights off on an underground
train. I guess you can make it clear when a train is out of service,
but what's the point (saving electricity?) otherwise?

Yes he/(she) can, although on 73TS (I can't comment about others) we
have a light comes on to warn us that the lights are off (If you see
what I mean!).

They are not turned off in the usual course of things, but I will turn
them off if the train is running out of service.
