A driver doesn't have to be fit to drive the train - he could be
carried into the cab and plonked on his seat and still drive the
train. However the driver does have to be fit to deal with anything
(emergency or non-emergency) that may occur while he is in charge of
the train. This often seems to get overlooked. One such thing could
be detraining passengers and/or walking along the track. Drivers have
a yearly mobility test for just this purpose (together with a basic
eyesight test).

That may be true but it hardly applies in this case.

True. It was more of a general observation.
