The way we work this job from Inverness is this,
Because of the hour restraints that we are regulated by we can not go Inv-Edin wav-Inv in a shift, that would be about 13.5 hrs on duty(a big no no) so the driver that takes the train out at 2038 hrs (2025 on a Sun) takes the train to Stirling then drives a car back to Inverness. Another driver then books on around 0100hrs drives a car to Stirling and works the train back to Inverness.
The only deviation is on a Thur and Fri when the Inv-Edin driver on arrival at Stirling then drives to Mossend to work the Lairg fuel tanks north then takes them back south on a Fri night and drives back from Mossend. The Sleepers are worked by Mossend men on a Fri night and Sat morning.
Not an ideal way to work the job but it does keep the work at Inverness and us employed.
