I also use the title= thing.

<h2 title="One - The storm">One <span>The storm</span></h2>

In my CSS I have

h2 span, h1 span {
    display: block;
}

This puts the chapter number on a separate line above the title, or more correctly, the chapter title is on a separate line below the chapter number. I also have additional styling to make the chapter number small caps and the title bold. The table of contents just gets the chapter title, no number.

I think it was turtle91 who shared this trick.

Thanks @hobnail, I'll give it a try. Am I right in thinking it is another method to achieve the same outcome? So I can either have a css code for "chapterh2" or css code for "h2 span". Its not really saving anything, (but of course I probably don't have a deep enough understanding to see the differences between the two methods).

h1 and h2 are already in use.
h1 is on the title page (thought I could probably get rid of that)
h2 is used for the parts of the book which are split into days - "Day 1- Contact" and h3 is used for the chapters in "Day 1"

Just to confirm that my issue is with the creation of the TOC which omits the title="" portion of the heading.
