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 ?

Yes, under a flap at each end of the unit. The controls aren't
separated from the passenger compartment in any way, though.

It's also not the ideal position for a driver to sit in - more central
and higher up as on Croydon Tramlink would be better for street running.


I'd go further and say that while the controls are fine for use on a
seperated right of way, they'd be completely and totally inappropriate
for on-street running.
