But the experts in rail safety, the ORR, have said the southern rail trains would be just as safe if driver operated only. They just need to keep the camera lenses clean, apparently.
Maybe you have never travelled on totally automatic trains, DLR or LUL .... but when you do i doubt if you will even notice the lack of a driver.
