The DLR and Jubilee lines are automated. The Northern and Central lines were automated within the last few years. The Victoria was automated since it first opened in 1968. Once the sub-surface signaling upgrade is completed, the Circle, District, Hammersmith and City, and Metropolitan lines will also be automated. Automated in this sense means "driver controls doors and presses button to send train to the next station". When the rolling stock is next refreshed, the cab might be axed and instead it'll follow a similar model to the DLR today - a single person roaming the train checking fares etc and issuing the "close doors/move to next station" command from a panel near each set of doors. |
