Break Legislation for Train Drivers?
I work in road transport. There is a complex set of regulations governing how long a driver may drive before taking a break, how long that break must be, how long he needs to have off between shifts and at weekends etc...
I am wondering, is there a similar set of regulations for train drivers? *Surely* there must be but, apart from the bog standard Working Time Directive which applies to nearly all workers, I cannot see anything specific to train drivers.
Any train drivers out there who can help???
Thanks!

By your wording I am assuming you are in the U.K. But here in the States there is a federal hours of service act.
It allows a maximum of 12 hrs per shift with a minimum of 8 hours break between.
That's all, no maximum number of shifts per week or month.
In peak traffic time you can (an do) work 8 or 10 shifts per week endlessly.
Past time for some changes but anytime the federal gov't gets involved all they do is make things worse.
