But will they have the innovation I've seen in Germany, of having
electronic arrows pointing at which side of the train the platform will
be on? Never really understood why this doesn't happen in the UK:
gradually I'm remembering which sides I want but arrows would greatly
help people flow.

I believe that Chicago and New York have tacked on "Doors open on the
(left/right)" to their announcements.
