(LUL engineering trains also usually have a
battery or diesel loco at both ends - this also means the train can
easily be reversed from locations where a crossover is not available.)

Is it also the rule that both cabs must be manned? *Whenever I've seen
an engineering train pass, both cabs of the battery locos seem to be
manned.

I don't know. What would be the point of such a rule? The non-driving
cabs might just be occupied by engineering staff needing a lift to the
work site.
