In what way are the drivers in a vulnerable position? Are they afraid
that angry passengers are going to break into their cab and assault
them?


I wonder if it is actually over plans to introduce the NT4L, thus
negating the need for drivers.

Does a similar plan exist for the Bakerloo?

Yes, and the Central and the Drain. The Bakerloo 72TS is even more
knackered than the 73TS.
