The world’s first completely automatic railway has been built under the busy streets of London．(1) ___________________________________________．The new Victoria Line was opened in 1969．This new line was very different from the others．The stations on the other lines need a lot of workers to sell tickets．and to check and to collect them when people leave the trains．This is all different on the Victoria Line．Here a machine checks and collects the tickets，and there are no workers on the platform．On the train，there is only one worker．If necessary，this man can drive the train．But usually he just starts it；and it runs and stops by itself．(2) ________________________________．The command spots are the same distance apart．Each sends a certain signal．The train always moves at the speed that the command spots allow．If the command spot sends no signals, the train will stop．Most of the control work is done by computers．The computers also fix the train’s speeds，and send the signals to the command spots．Other machines make sure that the trains are always a safe distance apart.(3) __________________________.So there is no danger of accidents on the line．
