I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

The driverless trains at Gatwick have a big advantage compared with traditional manned trains and open platforms.

The latter is akin to a lift with no doors on the lift shaft. The former has totally enclosed platforms whose doors only open when the train is stopped in the station.
