I think some lines still need them, but not many. Anyway, without the tube drivers who would give us sarcastic updates about delays caused by signal failures? Instead of a tube driver on the train there should be a policeman. That would almost certainly improve the safety of the system as a whole. -- Jonathan Peterson Technical Manager, Unified Ltd, +44 (0)20 7383 6092 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
