How much 'practice' do you think you'll need to drive a ~600 tonne object

Surely the Aberdeen-Penzance train doesn't have a single driver for the
13 hour journey.


No, there will be several driver changes along the way, not least because
very few TOCs have lodging agreements for drivers.

But that's not what I meant. I sign 700 miles of route, obviously I don't
drive it all every day.
