being manually driven trains can only be driven at a very restricted

Aren't PSAs supposed to drive DLR trains on manual on Sunday mornings?

I thought that they would be able to drive them at speed.
yes, but there are 2 manual driving modes,
IIUI
in the one they use on sundays the computer still has some control which
wont let trains move if it has failed,
in emergancy shunt mode all computer systems are disabled allowing moves
to take palce at slow speed only that would otherwise not be permitted
