That has to be the ugliest front end on a train ever devised.

I don't find it particularly ugly, quite elegant in a way, but what I
find odd is that this driverless train doesn't appear to let passengers
sit at the front, as on the DLR and the Paris Metro driverless trains.
No side windows near the front, and a dark front. So if it's not a
driver's cab, what is it? If it's a bolthole for the passenger service
agent to use when the train is crush-loaded, how does he get there (no
separate side door)?
