Of course, only if you like to believe the worst.
It is actually normal proceedure for Drivers to be breathalised after a
safeworking incident.
As an example, if a signalman returned a signal to stop, and the driver
passed the signal. The signalman when being made aware of his mistake might
deny that he had, and the Driver is reported as passing a signal at Danger.
The Driver will then be breathalised. Similarly if someone is hurt getting
on or off the train, or it is derailed, or involved in any accident.
Recently when a semi trailer derailed my train, by climbing underneath my N
Class, I was breathalised, by the Police, as well as being blood tested on
arrival at Albury base Hospital. So Sir think the best not the worst, We
carry millions of people all over Australia every day, safely, and even
Sydney, with all its present day problems, is among the top suburban Rail
Sytems in the World.
