Very funny Dave. Never been on the DLR, then? Driverless most of the
time.

I take it you've never been on it?

I've been on it quite often. Driverless most of the time.


And who was the bloke in uniform who was walking up and down and
pressing
the door-close/train-start button at every stop?


In your imagination, mostly.



And Wikipedia's apparantly:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dockla..._rolling_stock

"The trains are fully automated and have no driver, but a Passenger
Service Agent (PSA), titled the "Train Captain" in the system's earlier
years, is in attendance in each train and can take control at a driver's
console if required."


That isn't what happens at night.
