Might it be easier to fit CCTV to the train rather than the platform?

You still need to fit the cameras and the wiring. All it saves is the
cost of the monitors, but at the expense of a transmission system.

The Northern and Central Lines have this, but that's mostly because
there's no room to retro-fit the monitors in tube stations.


But don't the Electrostars have the cameras on the train, so there is
no transmission system needed, other than feeds into the train's own
systems.

You can see the cameras down the side of the train in this image:

The Northern and Central lines are more complex of course, there
probably isn't space for cameras on the side of the cars.
