Signal Failure
"Clive" wrote in message
In message , john amber writes I think most passengers would put up with a few months without LT if it meant that they could all be sacked and drivers replaced with automatic driverless trains which work perfectly well on the DLR. I remember when the Victoria line opened and the proles were told they'd be driverless, most people said they wouldn't travel on the line, hence the use of a door closer/driver, same as the DLR. Maybe in the light of experience, people should be asked again if they would be prepared to use driverless trains? I also remember when the Tube went over to OPO (or was it called OMO back then?), initially only on trains with ATO, but later on all lines. At each stage, the unions wailed about how this would compromise safety, people would die, etc, etc, but it seems to have been pretty painless. Now the same union objections are happening again with ticket offices, even though stations won't be left unmanned (unlike many minor NR stations). |
