The stations in Taiwan have numbers on the platform. The corresponding car number will usually stop beside the sign. This helps you know where to wait along the lengthy platforms, should you have a seat booking.
Interior of the last car (Car 1) on the same train. As this was the start of the run, it was actually empty. I was travelling in car 2 which quickly filled up.
