The Volkswagen of electricity


Crossrail (a new heavy rail tunnel through London) will have automatic train operation on the busier sections, because you can get tighter control of speed, which is required for the planned 20 trains-per-hour (in each direction).

In other news, Britain has just passed the ten-year mark since the last rail passenger death, compared to 20,000 on the roads in the same period. (7, if you count Sandilands)
