I also noticed that the displays don't say whether the next train will
be 4 cars or 8 - the displays at KX TL did.


This is stupid. I don't think they state the location of first class
anymore either.


Indeed. But since all the FCC TL trains are DOO the driver will always
stop by the signs that say 'S car stop' (on both platforms - one sign
for each), which themselves are adjacent to the DOO screens (again one
set of screens for each platform - I've noticed that they broadcast
full-colour DOO feed, rather than black and white which is the norm).

What I'm personally more annoyed about are the new gates - at the moment
you have to shove your (paper) ticket through the slot, and the flaps
themselves are so slow they make it easier for tailgaters to pass
through behind someone else (compared to the other two sets of gates on
the LU network anyway).
