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?
You can probably function much better with a cold than after a long fast with
no water. But certainly anything more serious and you'd expect them to stay
at home. If someone turned up to work with flu so bad they could barely
concentrate and crashed the train I'd expect the book to be thrown at them.
But the point stands that the driver is making a judgement.
Personally, I can sympathise with the fasting, but the not drinking
water is absurd (are they really prohibited from that?).
