Correct answer
15 minutes followed by 30 minutes
Into a break of at least 15 minutes followed by one of at least 30 minutes, interspersed within the driving period to meet the break required after four and a half hours. Reversing the order to 30 then 15 minutes is not sufficient in this regular service. Since 2024, occasional passenger services have an additional option: two breaks of at least 15 minutes each, totalling at least 45 minutes.
