BTW: The Central and Victoria line trains are automated.


But not to the extent of entirely dispensing with drivers.


AIUI when the trains are driving automatically the driver just closes (and
opens?) the doors, just like the train captain on the DLR so, apart from
having to have new stock with door controls throughout the train , the
Victoria and Central lines could dispense with drivers staying in the cab.
