I'm not sure that facts are what many of the posters in this thread
actually want. It does, however, seem a bit daft to site catch points so
that a train that is diverted by them hits an important bit of the
infrastructure.

True, but OTOH they probably didn't reckon on some irresponsible pillock
fasting for a day before going to do a safety critical job. In a sane world
this moron would be fired but of course we're not living in a sane world and
PC means we treat all this fairy tale religions garbage with "respect" and kid
gloves so no doubt nothing much will happen to him and he may well do the same
thing again next year.

Just to play devil's advocate: how many drivers go to work with a cold
and feeling a bit crap, but not crap enough to physically not be able to
present themselves?
