Hi
Thanks for that! It's something you rarely see discussed in stuff like Rail or Modern Railways. I knew that you had to do traction tests and road knowledge but wondered how long you could actually 'zoom' along on a 'Tesco-liner' and how far you could get before you had to hand over to another driver. Bearing in mind the length of time some steam crews must have spent in sidings waiting for expresses and other passenger trains to pass in the 'old-days' I guess things had to change.
