As in the train behind comes forward and does a push-out or sends over
a new driver or something. Is it possible to couple two trains in the
tunnel and have the relieving driver drive the double train from the
front?

The procedure is known as "leap-frogging" which involves the train
operator of the train behind stopping short of the rear of the first
train, going forward to investigate and, if nescessary, moving the first
train forward. Subsequent trains repeat this, until a relief operator is
on-site.

Utterly mental. APPROVED!
