Bob Crowe at it again - this time over 2 sacked workers..

To catch the bits of flying engine, you mean?

and respond to the 50+ on screen error messages. Took the pilots almost an hour to clear them... with better connectivity that job could be outsourced to a support office in Bangalore with much cheapness

The victoria line is automatic. I believe the Jubilee line is as well. The fact there is a driver there is for safety and backup reasons (in the same way that you have pilots on recent airbus planes).

So, that begs the question....why don't they need drivers on the DLR?

Surely, they just need to implement the same safety systems on the underground that they do on the DLR?? (Or am I being hopelessly naive?)

I wouldn't want trains to be driven only by software. Especially not Bobware.

I never thought I'd see a Scargill wannabe, but that's what Crow is.

Like I said, if the tories string him out until the next election, he'll cost Labour votes.
