Unions...

They may be part of the problem. But I think it is more than that. More
that there is no commercial pressure to make railways efficient. No
survival of the fittest that occurs in the motor car industry.


Have you any idea of the cost of modifying all trains, signalling and
track to driverless?


Yep.

It would likely make HS2 seem a bargain.


BULL****.

And just imagine the target computer controlled trains would be for a
hacker...


How odd that none of these has ever been hacked.
