Re: Kings Cross Box to now move to York
The daft thing about this is that Doncaster PSB will remain. So Kings Cross to P'boro will be controlled from York, the Donny takes over then York again. I think Donny is to get a life extension as well. Whether all these plans come to fruition we shall see as there are plenty within N.R that think the timescales will not happen or they will run out of money to do what they plan.

I wonder how long it will be before the trains are remotely controlled, with no driver?
Unthinkable?
Or progress with computerisation?

They could squeeze at least half a dozen more commuters into the space vacated by the driver - I'm surprised they haven't tried it already...strang steel wrote:I wonder how long it will be before the trains are remotely controlled, with no driver?

'Remote controlled trains'
Er, remember the Victoria line, when LT tried it out, nobody would get on the train.........even today (so I've been told) the 'driver' just sits there reading his paper !!!
