Default London Assembly Tories propose driverless Tube trains

---quote---
All trains on the London Underground should be driverless, according
to the Conservative group on the London Assembly.

In a proposal to the mayor, the Tories claim it would save about £141m-
a-year in wages and prevent strike action.

probably on the money.
