i must say i quite like the elizabeth line but there's the problem of the two exits and the long walking (Excluding Abbey Wood Woolwich Custom House and Paddington)

Thanks for a great new video. I am a new subscriber. Are these driverless like our Metro in NSW Australia? Notice some platforms with doors others not.

[@CarpeDiemTraveller]

Thanks Geoffrey!! These aren’t driverless unfortunately but I believe they can be made driverless at least for the central operating section. This is between Paddington and Abbey Wood which runs under automatic CBTC signalling. :)

they can automatically switch around at Paddington into the sidings there
