The Paris Metro has led the way in Europe, with the first driverless line
opening in 1998, a second in 2012 and a third due by the end of the decade.

Someone should point out to Mr Beard that the DLR has been driverless since
1987 and the victoria line automated since 1967.

I think the Paris Metro trains are unmanned, unlike the DLR and the
Victoria line (which opened in 1968).
