Given that the JLE only has PEDs on the new underground stations, I

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.

What about DLR? The PSAs are not always at the helm and there are no
PEDs at all.
