The legal limits (for all safety-critical railway staff) are the Hidden
Regulations; 12 hours maximum shift, 12 hours minimum rest, 13 days maximum
consecutive worked. We are, AFAIK, exempt from the Working Time Directive.

Below that are company-specific (indeed sometimes varying by groups of
drivers within the same company) rules around what shift length can be
rostered, and things like where breaks must be within the shift.
