Because the unions get any say on that and there is no one
with any balls like Maggie or Murdoch had to take them on.

Every time driverless trains or tubes are brought up, the vast
majority of
those who use them are against.


Yet they still use docklands.

Which are not "driverless". They are automated with a train captain on
board who issues the door close/train start sequence - just like the
Victoria Line.

What these people mean is "without staff" which is never going to happen
because the public don't want it too (except on strike days when it
suits them).

I miss those elevator captains dont you?

The feeling of power when you said '3rd floor, please' and the sexy
attendant in his smart uniform told you where to get off.

These self service buttons will never really catch on.


And that is similar to a train in what particular way?

People still use them even when there is no driver.

Same with these.
