Today I was issued with 'climb on runway track' by a switched-on Farnborough controller. Specific enough for me.

'Runway Track' could not be affected by drift.
'Runway Heading' could be affected by drift.
'Straight Ahead' does not seem to be defined.

Basically either instruction might be used by ATC to prevent any SID/SDR/NPR turn.
