And where do you expect that someone else to be? =A0On the platform just
in case he's needed, in which case there'll be a lot of extra hours
worked "just in case", or in the canteen 5 minutes' walk away?

Or, quite likely, at his booking on point at another station waiting
to go where he is needed first.

The clue may be in the term *relief* driver.

At least he came on the following train. He might have been sent by
taxi which would probably have taken even longer.

Of course if booking on points were at the end of line termini like on
most sensible systems it wouldn't be an issue. I'm sure there is someone
in LU who knows why changing drivers part way along a metro line is a good
idea but I'm buggered if I can think of a good reason.
