    Drug Testing Question

    Sorry TDK, I wasn't suggesting it was or wasn't detectable. I was merely pointing out that the OP should be asking a medical professional for such information, not a load of strangers on the internet. If he daren't ask his occupational health department, then he should draw his own...

    Medical Assessment

    Despite registering some time ago, I've only been reading this forum for a short time but there seems to be a massive amount of scaremongering around about medicals, etc. Of course it's not a bar to employment :D Putting aside the fact that legally they would be on extremely thin ice...

    Drug Testing Question

    Indeed, that's why he needs to ask a medically qualified person. He (or she) is asking internet strangers and being judged by them, as you'd expect. If there are no effects after, say 12 hours, he's as safe as the guy who drank 3 paints 12 hours ago. These things are legal - it's only the...

    Photography on trains. Illegal?

    Info seems difficult to come by, but here's a general idea: http://guidedmunich.com/german-privacy-laws/ I guess, strictly speaking, you were breaking the law when you published the photo, according to those guidelines. However, as you were obviously taking a photo of a tram, not the woman in...

    Sudden Brake Application on Skegness line

    This is pretty common on my company's 14x's too. Usually whilst crossing points. Interestingly, whilst it's obviously an emergency application, the units don't have to come to a full stop before getting a brake release again.

    Photography on trains. Illegal?

    Those pics would be illegal in Germany. If memory serves, it's illegal to publish pictures of people without their permission, even when taken in a public place.

    train driver tests

    Replaced with a "multimodal interview" - which I'd guess is a new name for the CBI :) http://www.rssb.co.uk/sitecollectiondocuments/pdf/reports/research/T948-summ-final.pdf
