New underground trains

[Hellfire]

This BBC article details the new rolling stock for the Piccadilly, Bakerloo, Central and Waterloo and City Lines http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-29520761

What struck me was this quote from RMT general Secretary, Mick Cash in response to the suggestion that the trains would be designed to be driverless if required

General secretary of the union, Mick Cash, said: "RMT has made it clear repeatedly that any moves towards the lethal and cash driven nonsense of removing drivers on London Underground would be resisted through the most robust industrial and political campaign of opposition."

If the RMT had been in existence 150 years ago they would probably still have someone with a red flag walking along in front of each train
