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

I was involved in specifying the video transmission system for the Central

were required) to allow the driver to see the images after moving off.

Hamburg also has an on-board system for platform monitoring.
