        because he is a she?


        Would you want a cross dressing tube driver who has epilepsy?

        Assuming they offered her alternate jobs and she is medically unfit I can't see what the issue is.

                  I would imagine they tried to re position her in to another role but the RMT kicked up a fuss probably due to loss of earnings/overtime compared to a driver

                    Given the level of automation on most underground lines I doubt she actually needs to do very much..
