RE: Conservative mayor candidate makes ambitious claim
I do completely agree with your sentiment and as right as you are in saying the new fleet is designed for DOO they could still (in theory) be operated with guards as they are now - just as modern buses could be now even though they've been designed as driver only operated for decades now. Only time will tell of course but I think it will be a while before a solution everyone is happy with is reached

I do hope it turns out to be the case that guards are retained on the new trains after all - but unfortunately as I support the Merseyrail (and the all other TOCs) guards 100% I'm not getting my hopes up
