If you read my post again you'll notice that I don't say that you could. I
just said that you could dispense with them staying in the cab. Obviously
they would have to be there when the trains are heavily loaded but during
the off-peak time they could be in the main passenger areas and act as a
reassuring presence.

Wrong. Who is going to look out for obstructions on the track etc if
they are in the 5th carriage.....

They are also looking out for
obstructions and people on the line etc.

Yet this isn't a problem on the DLR.


Which runs along purpose built track. But it still gets people walking
on it now and then.

DLR train captains can drive the train manually from the control panel.

I know. But most of the time they don't and so can be in with the
passengers.

Your point being?
