Much confusion in the newspaper report but if the train was safe at all times, surely it's just an issue of bad practice? Serious yes, but it's not like joe anyone drove the train.
Although I spoke to someone once who had experience of a freight route having some sort of loco swap.
One driver didn't know the route, the other didn't know the traction, so both went.
If the driver that didn't know the stock wanted to drive under the instruction of the driver that did, in reality there is such a minimal risk it's not worth bothering about in my opinion.
