You remember wrong. Automatic operation was always planned with train
operators.
There was a discussion around LT about using driverless trains, but
putting two buttons in the front cab was considered prudent as it
reassured the punters and the driver could check the doors were clear.
Downside was no drivers cab door and the window couldn't be pulled down
for ventilation.

I think most passengers would put up with a few months without LT if it
meant that they could all be sacked and drivers replaced with automatic
driverless trains which work perfectly well on the DLR.
I remember when the Victoria line opened and the proles were told they'd
be driverless, most people said they wouldn't travel on the line, hence
the use of a door closer/driver, same as the DLR. Maybe in the light of
experience, people should be asked again if they would be prepared to use
driverless trains?

Perhaps they better not visit:

Copenhagen
Nuremberg
Other places that I can't be bothered to look up.
