§ Mr. DobsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport which of the safety measures for one-person operation of the Victoria line have been omitted from the conversion of other lines to one person operation with the agreement of the railways inspectorate; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. David MitchellNone. The Victoria line was constructed before detailed criteria for one-person operation had been developed by London Transport or British Railways. The only significant difference, which is not strictly a safety measure, lies in the fact that Victoria line trains are automatically driven.
