A driver doesn't have to be fit to drive the train - he could be carried
into the cab and plonked on his seat and still drive the train. However
the driver does have to be fit to deal with anything (emergency or
non-emergency) that may occur while he is in charge of the train. This
often seems to get overlooked. One such thing could be detraining
passengers and/or walking along the track. Drivers have a yearly mobility
test for just this purpose (together with a basic eyesight test).

That may be true but it hardly applies in this case.
