Default New victoria line trains

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.


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.
