Technology is all well and good but at what point are we relying on it too much. I know a driver with GB Railfreight contracted to cover the Caledonian Sleeper services. The new mk 5 sleeper cars know where they are (!) and the GPS/location software automatically only unlocks an appropriate number of doors at the shorter platforms in the north of Scotland. Staff are wondering when some poor bugr will go head first out of a door off the platform that wasn't supposed to be able to open.
