Re: DLR train makes a bit for freedom

If a Victoria Line train is stopped between two stations and a signal
clears, wouldn't the train's further movement be contingent on some sort of
positive action from the driver?

Where exactly does the Victoria have wayside signals, by the way,
considering that it is ATO? I assume that they are they only at stations, as
starters, and junctions?

I read a story online somewhere (can't find it now) about a Victoria
Line driver getting out of his train when stuck at a red signal, but
without deactivating the ATO. As soon as the signal cleared, the train
restarted itself, narrowly missing him.
