Imagine the powers that be have managed to automate trains, would it be more efficient ?
I noticed that the Elizabeth line is automated and the train runs very frequently without any driver input, in fact I've seen a few standing up and leaning over the control to look through the front wondow with their hands over the front.
Same for London Underground, some of the line are automated with the driver opening amd closing doors.
Paris automated metro have been able to run train on an 85 seconds frequency.
Would automated mainline trains be more frequent and safer ?
