I dont think you will get many friendly replies on here buddy. Or at least not the type of answers that you will deem helpful

Quite scary to see that asked on here..... define “drug”...... are we talking medical or recreational?

They have been discussing medicals on this post today: https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...rnsey-cricklewood.158230/page-10#post-3453928
No specifics about drugs though

 

[Madspotman]

Not illegal drugs no.

If you are on any prescription drugs you have to declare it. Madness to lie.

If you have to ask, are you sure you should be working on the railway?

They get your blood pressure up by faffing around changing dates, then pick the one, single, date you say you can't do so you rearrange your other commitment.

On the day they get your pulse rate up by getting you to walk up about seven floors. By this stage you desperately need to 'go' but can't until the drug test ('pee in a pot'), which they keep until last. With all that built-up tension inside you have to look for dots on a screen without confusing them for tension-related sights. Then they test your hearing by sitting you near an open window overlooking a main road and playing quiet sounds. Finally, the drug test where the pot they give you is too small for the amount you need to 'do'.

Well, something like that, anyway!
