Default Complete (almost) Shutdown of Berlin Train System - could ithappen here...??

Why do they still use platform dispatchers? Why not use the signalling
system to regulate trains?



Of about 170 stations, about 70 still have platform crew - required, if
the driver does not have full overview of the train.

This number will get reduced to 20 stations, as soon as "ZAT-FM" really
works. ZAT-FM transmits camera pictures into the cab, and the EBA
requires a 0.02% probability for transmission errors. It was supposed
to work by 2009, but didn't.
