The problem with the deep level tube is that evacuation is difficult. You
need a member of staff around. Much as I can't stand Bob Crowe I'm with him
on this one - I personally wouldn't be happy travelling on a completely
unstaffed train. If the driver just because train captain DLR style that
would be fine however.


Like the Victoria line has always been, you mean?


Yes, except he sits in the cab, he doesn't wander around the train. I wouldn't
care if he wandered around as long as there was a member of staff on board.
