Why would there be a 'consequent change to the entire operation of the
system'?

It's would be quite feasible to operate in auto mode as far as the last
station on the segregated stretch, have a driver board, and switch to
manual for the remainder of the journey.

Haven't the DLR trains already got a minimal "cab" in the form of a
suitably-positioned set of controls for driving manually in an
emergency ?
