Petition Automate all trains so there are no longer drivers or manual door openers.

It is ludicrous in 2016 that huge swathes of the country should be held to ransom by union action over something as silly as who controls the doors - personnel are paid far too much to press a button and move a lever. The technology has existed since the 70s to automate all of this.

More details

In 2016 Train Drivers hold the country to ransom whenever they want a pay bump, or even more favourable conditions. The average transport for London driver earns £55k, in the south, the average is £39k. No part of their job requires a human. It's time for progress, guarantee these people jobs until retirement, hire no new drivers - and slowly automate away the skill gap so that the current drivers don't suffer, but that no drivers can come along to make the rest of the country suffer.
