(1.) If such guard is allotted any work and
be treated in all respects as time during
which such guard is engaged in his
ordinary running duties.
(2.) If such guard is not allotted any work he
shall be paid for such time at his ordinary
rate of pay, but such time will
not be taken into account for the purpose of computing overtime.
(ii.) When such guard is booked off duty for less
than eight hours he shall be paid for the first

of pay, but such time shall not be taken into
account for the purpose of computing overtime.

(i.) When the guard is booked off duty he will not
be paid for any portion of the time during

(b) in any other case, eight hours.
(2.) If it is provided by the duty-sheet that a member shall
be off duty for any shorter period than that specified in paragraph (1) hereof, in each case the time worked immediately
before and immediately after such period shall be deemed to
be time worked in the same shift, and the payment (if any)
to be made to such member in respect of such period shall be
determined by the provisions of regulation 119.
-
Whenever a train is running late and is not likely to
reach the station at which the members working the same
are to be off duty for rest in time to allow such members to
have the minimum period of rest specified in regulation 117
before the time at which they are required by the duty-sheet
to be next on duty, the engine-driver shall, if possible, send
telegraphic advice of such late running to the local locomotive controlling officer, who shall make such arrangements as
in the circumstances may be practicable to allow such members such minimum period of rest. If in any case the circumstances do not permit of such arrangements being made, each
of such members shall be allowed three hours' standing-time,

work is done, but such time shall not be taken into
account in computing overtime.
(b.) When the member concerned is allotted work by the
officer in charge and duly performs such work, the
standing-time during which such member is engaged
on such work shall be treated in all respects as if
such member had been engaged in his ordinary
running duties during such time.
(2.) As to standing-time at home stations:

such standing-time, and when work is so allotted to
any member and such member duly performs such
work the time during which such member is engaged
on such work shall be treated in all respects as if
such member had been engaged in his ordinary
running duties during such time.
(b.) When the standing-time is continuous for a period of
not less than eight hours and the member concerned
