Hi fellow brother of the damned, I do the same awful route :-) I've lost
track of the times I've started to move towards the doors, only to have
the train stop dead and chuck me about. I don't get this on the
Piccadilly line.

Plus the trains don't wait at the platform like the human driven trains do
if there is a bad morning with the trains up ahead. They just stop in the
bloody tunnel.

All in all give me a human being at the wheel any day.


At least that way they can steer if there is a derailment - see Mr Branson
for details...
