The short answer, from the rules themselves

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">This page is about Great Britain's mainline railway, where anyone employed to drive a train needs a licence from the Office of Rail and Road (ORR). To get one, ORR says, a driver must pass both a medical examination and an occupational psychological fitness examination before appointment. Northern Ireland has its own: Translink, the Northern Ireland Transport Holding Company's group, says its train driver assessment process complies with the Train Driver Licences and Certificates Regulations (TDLCR) (NI) 2010. Translink's policy is quoted below where it differs.</p>

<div style="background:#ffffff;color:#303846;border:1px solid #e4e1d8;border-radius:12px;padding:18px 20px;margin:18px 0"><h3 style="margin:0 0 10px;font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#171d29">Two answers that are too simple</h3><ul style="margin:0;padding-left:20px"><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6"><strong>"A diagnosis rules you out."</strong> Not in any document we read. The medical rule is about likely effects, judged person by person.</li><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6"><strong>"A diagnosis never matters."</strong> Also not what the rules say. A condition or a medicine likely to reduce attention or concentration is exactly what the medical rule is about, so it may be reviewed in more detail. Attention is also the first selection criterion in the psychometric standard.</li></ul><p style="margin:12px 0 0;font-size:13px;color:#5b6472">Our summary of the official documents above.</p></div>

What the medical checks, in the regulations' own words

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">Schedule 1 of the Train Driving Licences and Certificates Regulations 2010 sets the medical requirements. Its general requirement reads: <em>"Drivers must not be suffering from any medical conditions or be taking any medication, drugs or substances which are likely to cause—"</em></p>

<div style="background:#ffffff;color:#303846;border:1px solid #e4e1d8;border-radius:12px;padding:18px 20px;margin:18px 0"><h3 style="margin:0 0 10px;font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#171d29">The five effects in Schedule 1, paragraph 1(1)</h3><ul style="margin:0;padding-left:20px"><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6">a sudden loss of consciousness</li><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6">a reduction in attention or concentration</li><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6">sudden incapacity</li><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6">a loss of balance or coordination</li><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6">significant limitation of mobility</li></ul><p style="margin:12px 0 0;font-size:13px;color:#5b6472">Quoted from TDLCR 2010, Schedule 1. ORR's guide (paragraph 2.8) repeats the list and says doctors or medical assessors should consider these restrictions when carrying out the general medical examination.</p></div>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">The minimum content of the medical before appointment includes, among other things, <em>"tests for psychotropic substances such as illicit drugs or psychotropic medication and the abuse of alcohol calling into question the fitness for the job"</em>, and <em>"cognitive: attention and concentration; memory; perception; reasoning"</em> (Schedule 1, paragraph 2(1)). Medicals then recur: at least every three years up to the age of 55, every year after that.</p>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">Two things the documents do not tell you. No source we read lists which medicines a recognised doctor accepts, so we do not either. ORR names RSSB's RIS-3789-TOM, "Train Drivers – Medical Fitness Assessments", as industry good practice for the medical; we could not read its contents, so we quote none of it.</p>

Which tests assess attention and vigilance

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">In RSSB's standard, each psychometric test assesses a selection criterion. Attention comes first in RSSB's table, with two tests, and a third test, the WAFV, assesses vigilance. The publishers of TEA-Occ and the WAFV both say their test measures sustained attention:</p>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">Criteria are from RSSB's FAQ (table 1) and formats from Translink's policy (Appendix B). The other tests (ATAVT perception, two-hand coordination, the situational judgement exercise and the interview) are in <a href="/hub/train-driver-psychometric-tests" style="color:#255a45;font-weight:600">our guide to every train driver psychometric test</a>, and TEA-Occ has <a href="/hub/tea-occ-test" style="color:#255a45;font-weight:600">its own guide</a>.</p>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7"><strong>Our reading, not an official statement:</strong> if your difficulty is holding attention over time, the Group Bourdon, TEA-Occ and the WAFV are the tests to practise for and ask about. If it is reading speed or accuracy, the TRP tests, which by their name assess trainability for rules and procedures, are where to ask whether an adjustment such as extra reading time is possible. RSSB's report notes that neurodivergent people <em>"[m]ay experience periods of hyperfocus or (conversely) difficulty sustaining attention on tasks"</em>: the same person can find one test easy and another hard.</p>

<div style="background:#f3f8f4;color:#303846;border:1px solid #cfe3d5;border-left:4px solid #1f7a45;border-radius:12px;padding:18px 20px;margin:18px 0"><p style="margin:0 0 6px;font-size:12px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#1f7a45">Practise the attention tests</p><p style="margin:0 0 8px;font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#171d29;line-height:1.4">Find out whether your accuracy drops late in a run</p><p style="margin:0 0 12px;line-height:1.6">The result screen of our trainer compares your accuracy on the first half of the sheets with the second half, when both have reached groups (on an odd number of sheets the middle one is left out), and counts your missed and wrong marks apart.

Medication and the medical: what to disclose, and what to ask your GP

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">There are four points in the process where your condition or your medication may come up. The documents give different people a role at each one:</p>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">On the medical itself, The Train Drivers Academy says it <em>"may look at eyesight, hearing, general health, medical history, drug and alcohol standards and mental health"</em>. The medical decision rests with an ORR-recognised doctor. ORR's guide says that if a recognised doctor thinks a driver should seek their GP's advice on matters beyond the scope of the medical, the reasoning should be clearly explained to the driver.</p>

<div style="background:#ffffff;color:#303846;border:1px solid #e4e1d8;border-radius:12px;padding:18px 20px;margin:18px 0"><h3 style="margin:0 0 10px;font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#171d29">Questions to take to your GP or prescriber, before the medical</h3><ul style="margin:0;padding-left:20px"><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6">Could my condition, or any medicine I take, be likely to cause any of the five effects the regulations list: a sudden loss of consciousness, a reduction in attention or concentration, sudden incapacity, a loss of balance or coordination, or significant limitation of mobility?</li><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6">Can I have a copy of my diagnosis, or a letter confirming it? The train company asks for evidence before it considers adjustments to the tests, and The OPC says the evidence typically outlines the adjustments recommended for you.</li><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6">What is the name and dose of each medicine I take, so I can give the recognised doctor an accurate list?</li><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6">If my medicine or dose changes after I qualify, what should I tell my employer? (ORR says a change of medication may trigger a medical referral.)</li></ul><p style="margin:12px 0 0;font-size:13px;color:#5b6472">Our list of questions, not medical advice. The decision on fitness to drive trains rests with an ORR-recognised doctor at the medical. Do not stop or change a medicine for an assessment or a medical without speaking to whoever prescribes it.</p></div>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7"><strong>Our advice:</strong> give the recognised doctor a complete and accurate account of your diagnosis and every medicine you take. A medical that later turns out to be based on missing information helps nobody, and once you are a driver the duty to report a health concern is written into regulation 17(3).</p>

Reasonable adjustments: what is known, and who to ask

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">RSSB's FAQ, question 15: <em>"If you have a disability or condition, including neurodiversity, or may need adjustments to be made at the assessment centre, you can ask for suitable adjustments."</em> It tells you to contact the train company's recruitment team as soon as possible, warns that <em>"Without prior notice, support is not guaranteed, and your assessment might have to be rescheduled"</em>, and adds that evidence of your disability or condition will be required.</p>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">The law behind this, in Great Britain, is the Equality Act 2010. GOV.UK says you are disabled under it if you have a physical or mental impairment with a "substantial" and "long-term" negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities, and that employers must make reasonable adjustments, including <em>"changing the recruitment process so a candidate can be considered for a job"</em>; and GOV.UK's guidance for employers gives the example of allowing candidates to complete a written test using a computer. RSSB's report adds that a formal diagnosis is not required for a person to be considered disabled under the Act. That is the legal definition; at the assessment centre, RSSB says, adjustments still need evidence.</p>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">Two limits are written down too. GOV.UK says some jobs may have an essential requirement that cannot be met with a reasonable adjustment, and the medical requirements in Schedule 1 apply to every driver. Some companies also run disability schemes: Southeastern's trainee driver advert (closing date 1 January 2026) says that, as a member of the Disability Confident scheme, it will offer an interview to applicants who apply under the scheme and meet the minimum criteria.</p>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">Help with the cost of support at work comes from Access to Work (England, Scotland and Wales; Northern Ireland has a different system). GOV.UK lists <em>"having ADHD or dyslexia"</em> among the conditions it can cover and says you do not need a diagnosis to apply. It can also help pay for communication support at a job interview, under its own eligibility rules.</p>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">RSSB's report "Driving inclusion" (its page is dated 19 March 2026) is based on interviews with eight neurodivergent train drivers and three workshops with employer representatives. Many drivers described the cab as a place that suits their strengths: fixed timetables, clear rules, largely solitary work. The strengths they named include focus, attention to detail and route learning. The challenges included reading rotas and dense written material, and fear of disclosing. One driver said: <em>"I was too scared to say anything in case it costs me my job."</em></p>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">The report's ideas for employers include clear processes for adjustments, and, for learning and competence assessments, options such as <em>"Consider removing exam time limits, if time is not part of the criteria being assessed"</em>. These are suggestions for training and workplace assessments, not rules for the selection tests. RSSB's Right Track gives one example in practice: a GB Railfreight train manager with autism said that during his driver examinations a manager can reword questions and he can answer orally instead of writing. In September 2026 RSSB also published a tender for research into neuroinclusive principles for driver training, development, competence management and related workplace activities, while maintaining safety-critical competence requirements.</p>
