Photo: DPAWhen a train in North Rhine-Westphalia repeatedly stopped and started too abruptly, travellers decided to call in on the driver. Two travellers went to the front of the train to investigate and came across a glassy-eyed and apparently inebriated driver. Deutsche Bahn, the state-owned company responsible for the vast majority of train services in German, does not allow its drivers to have any trace of alcohol in the their blood system when on the job. But the rail service emphasized that safety systems on the train and the track ensured that the well-being of passengers was at no point put in danger.
