Default That 'sicknote' Tube driver

I think most people, (me included) would need it explained in very
short and simple word what exactly a driver *might* need to do that
could possibly involve some movement of foot / ankle / leg that a game
of squash would not be expected to involve to some degree.


Like I've just posted elsewhere in this thread, it's not just a case of
"physically demanding". There's also a case of "can you sustain it for
hours".

Playing squash for exercise, if you get one twinge you can stop and no
harm is done. That doesn't mean you can *commit* to lighter work - e.g.
being able to **guarantee** that you'll be able to walk for a mile along
the trackbed if necessary.
