Funny that they're still in the rule book then and show absolutely no sign of being removed...
Not while there are people pulling flappy boards on wires no. Fact is DOO has been working not less safely overall since 1982. What amazes me is some people find it so controversial, all the issues brought up are solvable, technology is just going to get better. It would just be easier if people would grasp the nettle. Nobody is going on the scrapheap.

Therefore existing not such good tech will be used and people just hope nothing bad happens.
It is more likely something bad will happen crossing the road, far more. It is so remote it's hardly worth even considering. Getting killed or injured on a DOO train is not something normal people should be worrying about. There are no compulsory redundancies and there probably never will be.

On what basis would you say the current equipment is better than the mark 1 eyeball?
The mark one eyeball is extremely fallible. People perceive colours differently, one colour among many literally changes colour, your brain processes out most of what you see, just for starters. The door operating should be taken out of both the hands of the driver and guard IMHO. Th Mk1 eyeball argument is dumb.
