I know there is a higher frequency of trains on Victoria than DLR. But
surely if DLR can run safety with no drivers then underground lines
can?


... Duplicate screens and other equipment could be provided elsewhere
in principle, but I don't see how the extra cost could be justified.


Do DLR trains get less internal vandalism than tube trains because the
train crew wanders around instead of staying locked in a cab?


It would appear so ...
