Does anyone know if ATO has been introduced into operation on the metropolitan line ?
On the Victoria line do they do any manual driving at all ?

Certainly when the 67 stock operated, the section from Seven Sisters to Northumberland Park depot was manually driven, although I'm not sure that's still the case. I used the staff trains into the depot on several occasions.

On other ATO lines, a certain amount of manual driving takes place on a scheduled basis to retain staff competence.
