Hi,
I understand that drivers (and guards?) of diesel trains have to have the appropriate certificate if the train works electrified lines.
So Cross Country crew for example, although an all diesel fleet, need certificate for overhead lines?
The other day I was on a Transport of Wales 158, from the Wrexham direction. We were a few minutes late into Chester and held at a signal until A Merseyrail EMU departed, we then arrived on platform 7B.
Anyway, my question is do TFW crew have to be third rail certificate? AFAIK that platform is the only place they are likely to encounter the third rail, but I am happy to be corrected!
Thanks
