I have - what is your point?

Have you ever heard of the Docklands Light Railway? You might want to
check out the front seat full ahead view that passengers get in these
driverless trains.

For the rest of us who are several hundred miles away from the DLR, it
might be better to make the point rather than give us a useless hint.

Or the front seat full ahead view on the Tyne and Wear Metro?

about 3 years ago, but it's always fun to see out the front of the train
from the passenger cabin. In fact, seeing out the front is such a selling
point that I am surprised it isn't standard on all modern trains.

I was very impressed, on a recent trip to Germany, to find that being
able to see out of the front of a train is the rule rather than the
exception....

The latest streamlined EMUs have a completely glass screen behind the
driver, and the three or four rows of seats behind this have dimmed
lighting so one can even continue watching after dark!

Quite spectacular viewing, especially on the hilly high-speed line
between Cologne and Frankfurt...
