Default New tube trains

Given that the JLE only has PEDs on the new underground stations, I assumed
the same would be true on other lines?


The JLE isn't fully automatic, though - there's a "driver" at the
front, as there is on the DLR, with his hand hovering over the
emergency stop button. For a fully automated system, they are probably
needed. Though I question whether a fully automated system is viable
in the UK where people will hold the doors and the likes.
