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

There was a discussion around LT about using driverless trains, but
putting two buttons in the front cab was considered prudent as it
reassured the punters and the driver could check the doors were clear.
Downside was no drivers cab door and the window couldn't be pulled down
for ventilation.
