I think most passengers would put up with a few months without LT if it
meant that they could all be sacked and drivers replaced with automatic
driverless trains which work perfectly well on the DLR.
I remember when the Victoria line opened and the proles were told
they'd be driverless, most people said they wouldn't travel on the
line, hence the use of a door closer/driver, same as the DLR.
Maybe in the light of experience, people should be asked again if
they would be prepared to use driverless trains?

You remember wrong. Automatic operation was always planned with train
operators.
