Wouldn't railway be the perfect mode of transport to automate though?

The driver isn't the large cost.

reducing driver costs is precisely why public transport organizations try to run trains instead of buses lmfao

staff costs are HUGE in the west

We're talking about trains here, not buses. So one driver per potentially many many hundreds of passengers.
