Just wondering wehen I was on the tube today , what happens if a driver
on a tube/train/bus suddenly gets a dose of the ****s or is taken ill in
some other way. HOw do the transport companies solve problems like that?
For busses I guess they just stop the bus at the nearest toilet/bush and make
a run for it but what happens in trains where the drivers stuck in a cab
possibly miles from anywhere?

PS: Don't ask why I was wondering, you don't want to know...

A couple of times I've been on a bus that has pulled up hastily outside
Brixton Bus Garage and the driver has rushed in, and come out a few
minutes later looking mightily relieved.

I imagine train drivers carry a plastic bag with them - cf the other
thread.....

Well, I hope you're feeling better now!

All train drivers can stop for personal needs relief at the next
station. They simply use the radio to inform the line controller what
they are doing (no not number 1 or number 2's!!!!)

Some stations have toilets at the end of the platforms behind unmarked
doors for the use of drivers.

having to wait, while the drivers dissapear into some dark passage, only to
re emerge looking releived!

I certainly feel relieved after disappearing into dark passages.
