Talk:Automation of the London Underground

Suggestions for improvement
User DavidCane suggestions for improving the article are:
 * The scope of the article does not match the title. The article deals only with the future automation of tube trains. It does not cover automation of other aspects of the London Underground's operations, such as signalling, ticket issuing and collection, access control or lifts/escalators.
 * The article is primarily about benefits and criticisms of future automation. The history section needs to be developed further to examine the objectives and methods of automation, existing limitations and shortcomings.
 * The possible benefits section is rather speculative. Three of the benefits are not cited at all. The source used for the one that is cited is, itself, speculative about the possible increase in service intervals that could be achieved.
 * The criticism section needs neutral sources as well. The RMT are obviously going to object to removal of train drivers. Christian Wolmar wants to be the labour candidate for mayor of London, so might be expected to be critical of the existing mayor's proposals no matter how "fanciful" they might be considered to be (do a search on Wolmars site for "Boris" and see how many times he approves of the mayor's plans). Also, blog posts are not considered particularly good sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Absolutelypuremilk (talk • contribs) 17:10, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
