You would normally work 35 to 42 hours a week. This could be spread over four or five shifts (known as 'turns') including weekends, evenings and nights. If you work on freight or engineering trains, you would usually do more night shifts.
On long distance routes, you may have overnight stays, returning home the following day.
You would usually work alone in the cab for the duration of the journey, except when accompanied by a trainee driver or driver inspector
