We must get a 30 minute break plus walking time. If we do not have time
to pick up our next train then a cover driver must work our next train
until we are able to pick it up. If there is no cover avaiable then the
train is worked to the nearst depot or siding by the driver to be
relieved or "sits down" on the platform until the driver can be
relieved.
