A train driver has pleaded guilty to being almost nine times the alcohol limit as he prepared to take a service from Edinburgh to Glasgow. Colin Chapman, 54, was said to have been caught at Waverley Station before the late night service departed on May 25. Edinburgh Sheriff Court heard yesterday that he provided a blood sample of 174 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. Railway regulations stipulate a maximum reading of 20mg per 100ml. The court heard that Chapman, of Milngavie, had resigned as a train driver following his arrest.
