Shift patterns - drivers' hours
Please excuse the ignorance displayed by this question but assuming a driver had signed for 'the road' would he be able (physically and legally) to take say, the Daventry to Mossend or Felixstowe to Mossend freightliner all the way or would he have to be relieved en-route, say at Crewe or Preston? Are freight loco drivers' hours limted in a similar way to a lorry drivers? Given that freight trains can be stuck in loops for hours, how does that affect a driver's ability to complete his shift?
