Each car has four doors on each side, and two or three cars make up a train. There are no cabs because normal operations are automated, and a small driver's console is concealed behind a locked panel at each end, from which the Passenger Service Assistant (PSA) can drive the car if required.

Yes, the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in London is a fully automated, driverless light rail system. Since its opening in 1987, the movement of the trains, including starting, stopping, and speed control, has been handled by a computer system. While there is no traditional driver in a front cab, every train has a Passenger Service Agent (PSA) on board. The PSA is responsible for checking tickets, ensuring passenger safety, and manually operating the doors at stations. In the event of a system failure, the PSA can also take manual control of the train using a hidden control panel. In 2026, the DLR is in the final stages of a fleet-wide upgrade, introducing state-of-the-art new trains that feature air conditioning, mobile charging points, and better accessibility while maintaining the fully automated operation that allows passengers to sit at the very front for a "driver's eye" view.
