Working Time Regulations - Application and enforcement

Chapter 6

Cross-border railway working time limits

The CBR cross-border rail regulations only limit driving time although they apply to non-drivers as well as drivers (the main focus is on rest periods). The daily driving limit is nine hours between two rest periods (eight hours if a shift is scheduled to include at least three hours of night time). In any period of two weeks a driver’s scheduled driving time must not exceed 80 hours.
