It's relevant because you could have a Met driver with A-stock knowledge
and an H&C driver with the route knowledge, but the problem remains
where to reverse.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant that double-manning *of C-stock* would
solve the "dysfunctional dead man's handle" problem. Double-manning A-
stock with H&C drivers would definitely still leave the "I don't know
how to work this train, and my mate over there doesn't know where he's
going" problem...
