The NLL/WLL were never converted for DOO, but the DC Line was. For

Given the route is already DOO, the basic class of train is already in
widespread use in DOO areas, and Bombardier are unlikely to have 'reinvented
the wheel' equipment wise, you would hope it's a minor issue.

Maybe the drivers want extra cash for looking at internal monitors rather
than external mirrors or something...

the RMT go on a membership drive after the establishment of LO and
LOROL...
