The NX shifts at Chester-le-Street can be outrageously long days though, eg 0630-2230 or even including overnight stays away from home (indeed I think they have a 3 day shift?)
NX rota is in 2, cross country & london. Max 2 nights away on cross country but could do a back to back, londons are 3 & 4 nights away and u r right they're very long days with a fair bit of non driving involved.
