Northern Line - again!

In message , Rupert Goodwins writes Would it not be possible to dynamically redo the timetable during the day, to take account of changes occuring after the start of play? I appreciate that this is non-trivial, and I expect there are a lot of implications for rostering, but it's the sort of thing that might be feasible with today's IT that wasn't just a few years back. So you as a driver having just done 3 to five hour's in the cab is approached at say Golders Green, and told that because of reprogramming for the public good you can't have relief but have to carry on for a further four hours for the public good. Right I understand putting the public first, but isn't a driver also a member of the human race and entitled to some time off? Another four hours? One end of the Northern line to the other takes roughly 70 minutes ... But once you've buggered up change over please explain where the fantom staff come from? Probably best to have the whole thing using ATO with a member of staff on every platform for door closing duties ... LUL staff fought long and hard for the right never to be on the platforms. I just think it would be the perfect solution. Driverless trains that can travel closer together more safely and staff on every platform with a button to signal to the train that it's safe to close the doors. You probably wouldn't need to hire or fire anyone either, although the drivers reassigned to platform duties may need a small pay 'adjustment'. |
