Default DLR Train Captain Texting Whilst 'Driving'

Originally a train captain had to on any vehicular that was moving. After
much arguing they got it relaxed to any train in passenger service,
meaning the train captains were not being 'wasted' riding empty cars to
and from the depots.


When there's a failure and manual driving is required, that might
cause some delay as it would be difficult to get a member of staff to
the train on an elevated section.

Didn't know any unmanned operation was allowed! I'll have to look out
for one next time I'm on the DLR!
