Why oh why do they still manufacture trains with such horrifically

TBH, I'm amazed that these new trains weren't accompanied by a
conversion to DOO. They could have been fitted with cameras to avoid
any need for station infrastructure.

I fail to see any need for guards (other than as a security presence
in the evenings, in which case one on their own is little use) on LO.
