How long do the Newcastle Crew that work The Highland Chieftain have to "rest" between shifts Inverness?
I heard that it is 9 Hours?

I *believe* that the NB Highland Cheftian and the SB aren't worked by the same crew? I remember hearing the NB crew will work a SB Aberdeen service the next day?
This was a localised issue and it was decided last week not to swap crews, but instead to keep the crews where they were and operate the following days southbound services later than normalI don't think that is correct, if the Cheftian is late up then it is normally late the following day. The most recent example was following when it was caught up in the flooding at Prestonpans, it left Inverness the following day at 0915
That makes perfect sense.
I know a driver needs to prep the train, but does the gaurd need to do any prep as well?
I would imagine that the Guard has to carry out the internal prep of all relevant passenger areas, as well as perhaps assisting the Driver with a brake test. Just guessing though!
