It's also interesting that the headline focuses on the driverless feature
of the trains, even though this may not be used initially. Maybe a
not-very-subtle reminder to the existing strike-prone drivers that their
days may be numbered?

The drivers probably know there'll have to be someone on board and it doesn't
matter if they're at the front driving or wandering around like on the DLR.
They'll still be paid the same (or else) so I doubt they care.

I think the DLR PSAs are paid significantly less than LU drivers.

Doesn't surprise me. But can you imagine what would happen if LU tried to cut
driver salaries or recruit new drivers on lower ones to operate these trains.
LU have made a rod for their own backs - the RMT know they always cave in the
end when faced with a strike.
