Plot twist: The driver's favorite tapas bar is in Osorno.

This happens in my country every now-and-then. Nothing to see here. Also fuck trains.

And the train conductor said take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break you’ve been on this shift too long

If he drives while tires and falls asleep and kills everyone he’s a criminal. He did the right thing.

For not breaking the legal safety limits? (In the EU)
MarkPenrice
Most professional driving jobs you're prohibited - sometimes by quite serious laws - from even having the engine on outside of max hours.
MarkPenrice
You HAVE to find somewhere to park the truck / bus / train / plane / etc if you're coming up on your limit and there's no relief.
MarkPenrice
The company hasn't worked out their rota correctly and it's going to put you over? Not your problem. Their fuckup, they have to deal.
MarkPenrice
Given the number of serious fatal accidents that have been caused by overworked, exhausted pro drivers, it's entirely understandable.

The train in Spain fails mainly in the rain?

Picture shows a German train from the „Deutsche Bahn AG“.

Live footage or picture of actual train didn’t accompany story: story can’t be true.

Some 15 years ago a German train diver stopped his ICE and went to the restaurant car for dinner because he refused to work overtime.

But the service of the Deutsche Bahn is even worse than the Spanish railway

Very true

yet this would never happen in Germany

Oh, it does.

I know for a fact it does.

At first I was like, no don't think so, then I googled and saw ok, Spanish version of "like a motherfucker".

Hey.. !I live in Newcastle England.. Where no one can understand us in our native tongue, never mind Spanish!! I gave it a shot ..

It's alright! Just teaching the wonders of Spanish swear words.
LetMeSeeMyKids
The article clearly states in the beginning that the train conductor went over his driving limit, and stopped per regulations.
LetMeSeeMyKids
It's a shame there are posts like these which do not express the actual event, and leaves out important points. Ah well

What important detail was omitted? He requested relief because he wasn’t supposed to drive any more, and they didn’t send anyone.
LetMeSeeMyKids
Yes. That's the important part, that he wasn't legally allowed to operate the train. The post alludes to a conductor walking off the job.
LetMeSeeMyKids
When his shift was over, with no mind of the passengers who are left stranded. He would lose his license if he continued, even if it was in
LetMeSeeMyKids
Good faith to make sure the passengers got to their destination.
LetMeSeeMyKids
Besides my first reply, do you really think the train conductor would have to request 'relief' from the company? Trains run on a schedule,
LetMeSeeMyKids
Therefore conductors operate per a coinciding schedule. It was a scheduling error. The conductor concluded his shift, realized there was no
LetMeSeeMyKids
One to replace him and called in to the company. Stating that he requested relief paints him as the bad guy who dgaf once he clocks out.
