Doc Frank chats with Barry West from London, England. Barry is a trainer for train drivers and has notably been involved in the driver training for the London Thameslink project which features Automatic Train Operation (ATO) over ETCS. The conversation suggests a curious parallel between Formular One car racing and ATO for trains and lots of other interesting aspects of automatic train driving.

Otherwise, the interview is rather self-explanatory and very instructive.
