I have deleted your second post as it appears to be a duplicate. If not please accept my appologies. Anyway if you like to check that the remaining post says all you wanted it to and amend accordingly.
Many thanks.

Thanks John, your welcome is appreciated. I did try to add to the above post but it seemed to have been lost....the forum logged me out, but it was referring to a previous posters seemingly ignorant (through no fault of his own i'll add here now) of EWS/DB traincrew agreements, and rules governing time in the seat - or driving hours as laid down by the Hidden 18 reccomendation which came into being as a direct result of the Clapham disaster in the late 80's (i was a Railman at London Bridge, early turn that day).
I'll get round to adding it again in due course, but a better version! In the meantime, I'd like to remind the Scottish chap that if a train was already 2hrs late, then it may be the driver baled out because if he hit someone or had a SPAD at 12hrs 3 mins then he'd be on his own union wise. No one likes being interviewed by HMRI under caution.....
