How do you know if the tube you're about to get on is going east or
west, north or south? Does it show the name of the next stop, or the
name of the last stop at the very end of its journey?

The trains themselves have the name of their destination on the front,
which may not be the last station on the line. If you're wondering
how to know which platform to stand on, the directional signs are easy
to read, e.g.http://www.dkimages.com/discover/pre...777/228473.JPG


Of course it gets more interesting on the piccadilly line where from
holborn to cockfosters "eastbound" is actually going north and
westbound is south. Why they insist on doing this when is flippin
obvious the train is going north-south is anyones guess.


The Piccadilly Line platforms north-east of Holborn used to be signed
Northbound and Southbound. There are still some signs showing this, I
noticed this one at Holborn for example.
