Who this guide applies to

This guide applies to train drivers who are 'local-drivers', 'short-haul drivers' and 'long-haul' drivers. When we say:

• 'local-driver', we mean a driver who usually travels within a city or town and sleeps at home after completing their work. For example, metropolitan passenger drivers.
• 'short-haul driver', we mean a driver who usually travels between cities and towns but returns home to sleep after completing their work. For example, passenger or freight drivers who drive intrastate or interstate who aren't required to have a mandatory long rest break during their shift.
• 'long-haul driver', we mean a driver who sleeps away from home, as a long rest break is mandatory as part of their work. For example, passenger or freight drivers who drive intrastate or interstate who are required to have a mandatory long rest break during their shift.
