Engine driver turns up for work heavily intoxicated

An engine driver is being investigated by the police for turning up for work heavily intoxicated. The forty-nine-year-old train driver turned up for his shift and drove the engine from the depot to the station where he was asked to take a breathalyzer test by his supervisor, who’d been alerted to the problem. When he refused to do so his superior called the police who found that the man had a blood alcohol content of 4 per mille. He is likely to be charged with presenting a public health risk and may face a year in prison.
