The drivers sat for 90 per cent of their shifts, the conductors climbed about 600 stairs each working day. It is thought excessive sitting slows the metabolism – which affects our ability to regulate blood sugar and blood pressure, and metabolise fat – and may cause weaker muscles and bones. Research on astronauts in the early 1970s found life in zero gravity was linked with accelerated bone and muscle loss and ageing
