Obviously what is reasonable could be open to interpretation, but
perhaps a visit from the local Constabulary to the home of the LU
manager to interview him might shake him up a bit. Also a good case
for naming and shaming I would have thought (again the manager).

On a point of accuracy, a Line Controller is not a manager. The rest of the
comments I totally agree with.

It wouldn't be totally unreasonable for the line controller to ring
up the station supervisor and say something like: "My driver on
your platform 2 is doing a bit of first aid. Could you pop down
and take over so he can drive the train on? I've got trains stalled
all the way back to Arnos Grove! Ta."

This is particularly true if the line controller didn't know how
serious the situation was. Perhaps the driver wasn't answering his
cab radio at the time!

I realize, of course, that my assumption that the Evening Standards
reporting is anything other than fair and accurate is totaly without
foundation.

Cheers,
