Several, although they still have a driver on board, go automatic when underground for a short while, then semi auto when on the surface. The new Elisabeth line when it opens has the facility to be fully automated, then of course there the good old dock lands DLR railway that has always been automatic. All these trains have a manual override even the dock lands train, as when new it was always breaking down, I haven’t been on a broken down DLR train in a long while.

The Victoria line was designed to be driverless, union opposition blocked it.

Wrong, that are both ejokes. :D

They all can lift you up and down have lights but apart from stand there and look 'pretty' are not actually capable of anything practical :p;)

I haven't a clue what you mean. The keyring shown, does not have lights, it is unlikely it can lift anyone up or down , but does have a practical use ( keeping your keys together)
Also the ejoke is far from pretty.
 
The ejoke unfortunately is a modern jlr product that has to compete with everyone else's safe products. The heritage the old company had, before so and so and the other so and so's had it was all about practicality. Now it's all about looks and safety, the safety bit I agree with to an extent but there is a lot of stuff you don't need, as said in plenty... These things are great when new but by the time some of us get hold of these things/gizmos they don't work so well and we don't get to appreciate these things but repair them instead and that kind of ruins the appeal of the new stuff coming out.. that's my view.. yours may be different.
I'm sitting down and going back to sleep.... I'm a politician don't don't you know!:p
 
Of course, anything that spends most of its life back with the Land Rover dealer having its alloys and electrics repaired will be statistically safer than one that is actually driven

@Mark Piercy I was going to say similar to Ironstrike, with the slight difference of saying ' even as a new vehicle most of the gizmos dont work.' The amount of recalls, and general faults, on new jlr vehicles, is quite sobering at times. At least when a vehicle is past first MoT glitches are expected. They should not be standard when new.

There are considerable emissions from Donkeys and Horses apart from the sh8t, they breath and therefore emit Co2 they also emit gasses from the other end, much of which is global warming methane. Not sure how the total emissions per kilometre compare to a diesel though:rolleyes::D:D:D
