  1. From the DLR article:

    … damaged seats or threadbare covers that are not automatically being replaced.

    Those would be some robots.

  2. “Self-driving cars only safe when driving in straight lines…”
    What a surprise that wasn’t!
    Can us curmudgeons now chorus: “I told you so!”

    Oh yes …
    Blackpool N – I’m told it’s still 150 metres to the actual station & as the article says, the service is pathetic.
    I suggest this is the sort of “Improvement” that blights decent tram & rail proposals?
