The driver didn't die in any of the recent incidents, so they would still be in place to manage the situation.

Interestingly, 7/7/05 isn't on the list, presumably because it wasn't an accident. That's exactly the kind of incident that is relevant in the context of this parent thread.

It would be interesting to where on the train is statistically the most survivable.

Yes, would also be interesting to know how many crime / related incidents are 'managed' by crew or station staff.
