So you're telling me they have no idea of which train is leaving

The driver is much less interested in this subject than you are -- he's
not in a race with the other train, and doesn't really care which goes
first. So why would he do anything other than show up on time, and wait
till it's his turn to head down the tunnel?

Well airline pilots are apparently aware of their booked departure times.
So are bus drivers. And mainline train drivers. Are you seriously
suggesting tube drivers simply wait for the green light and head off?
I'd have thought these "professionals" as they keep referring to themselves
as would be well aware of the times their trains should leave.
