You must have missed this posting a couple of days ago:

"Basically, the driver deliberately ran the train with a safety
device (the tripcock) cut out without a second person in the
cab. The tripcock is part of the safety system that stops the
train if it goes past a red signal. A driver must ALWAYS have a
second person in the cab if the Tripcock is defective."

Full report (see para 37 onwards):

Nevertheless, the tribunal (and now TfL, by reinstating the employee)
seem to have decided that this was not after all a sackable offence,
especially given the precedent that another driver had done the same but
with a train in public service, and he merely received a warning.
