Good luck to them,

One hand on the dead mans switch, other on the variable speed control isn't it?
Push handle to go, pull handle to not be going.
And a button to open and close the doors.
Is that about it?
I suspect it's a fraction of the complexity of being a bus driver.
Those poor fuckers who are currently taking up the slack today.
[edit]
Also it can't be too hard if the DLR can run driverless for 28 years without an accident.

I bet, as a software engineer, I could pick up train driving with about 15 minutes training.
I bet, as a train driver, they couldn't pick up software engineering... ever.
