Hi,
Q on Driving Hours:
I don't usually have this situation so I can't quite remember all the rules.
I worked all week from Mon-Fri - Days (full break last week).
A short notice job came up 2 nights Sat/Sun. 🙁
I had a 24hrs from Friday-Saturday night start.
I finished this morning and will have another 24hrs before going back to work on Tuesday am.
I believe I can work a normal week till Friday?
Anyone knows something else that I might have overlooked. Thank you.

yes what I thought but someone did say it is still a 7 in 7 as I worked every day but I did keep 24hrs break.
Main thing to watch is my driving hours but they will not be used as I work in London currently.

long as you had the 24 I’m sure you ok. I can’t understand why they insist on a a 45. Bus drivers can work 13 days straight and only have 24 then another 13
Not that I want to lol but this 45 crap restricts us on breaks. Can still have 45 but separate days instead of together, 45 hours makes no difference to 24

we have done it many times in the past. you work two Saturdays on the trop and next 2 sat/sun off. it has its advantages as you can book your w/ends with certainty as no https://www.lastminute.com/ rubbish possible by the god: managements (also know as "oops - brigade") 😉
