Re: Crewless trains

It needs a lot more than just PTC to operate driverless trains on the general network.

Keep in mind that the Australian ore lines are island lines with no interconnection, and all what's run on them are the unit trains.

The most complex driverless operation coming to my mind is the London Docklands Railway, followed by the Nürnberg subway (which has proven successful coexistence with manually driven trains).

For driverless operation, a completely different approach to safety and security would be needed.
