From the mockup I'd say it looks pretty much the same as the interiors

The whole line is underground, so I'm not convinced windows would add
much...


There are these occasional bits on the line, don't know if you've come
across them at all, called 'stations', where there are sometimes things to
look at - for example, the sign telling you which station it is, and thus
whether, having dragged yourself out of your book, you should get off
there.


Presumably though the new trains will all have in-car displays and automatic
announcements about the next station so there shouldn't be any need to look
out of the window to see where you are.
