Just curious - does anyone know what form the architecture will take,
will it be like the JLE, crossrail or something completely new? Also I
presume the 2 new stations will have platform doors too which I imagine
will mean some new kit on the trains - unless its already installed.

I doubt that platform doors will be fitted. There might be passive
provision but doors on just 2 Northern Line stations doesn't look likely
to me.

I always thought they were an expensive white elephant that served little
purpose but TfL seems to like them - they're going in on crossrail -
so I wouldn't put it past them to install just on 2 stations.

The safety benefits are considerable and they may well improve dwell times.
