But some of those people will be doing two hour journeys and working on the
train is a thing, sources reveal.


How likely is it that anyone other than the driver will actually be on the
train for that length of time? The routes and stopping patterns seem to be
arranged in a way that the overwhelming majority of journeys will be a lot
shorter.
