This is exactly what I wanted thank you!
This is a few years out of date but should give a rough idea. Newcastle is at the bottom.

Do Southeastern drivers who sign Tonbridge to Redhill also sign down to Reigate? There's been quite a few occasions recently where the service has been extended because of engineering works or due to the Covid reduced timetable. Would be good to know if they work it all the way or if they're relieved at Redhill by a Southern driver.

Thanks for that, good to get it confirmed! I'll update when next at a computer (this thread has got so long my phone can't cope with me editing it ).Holyhead Avanti depot has been open and productive since Sunday 12th December 2021.
Traction:
221
Routes:
Holyhead - Crewe including Crewe L&NWR (Carriage Sidings)
Chester - Warrington BQ - Crewe
No Wrexham, Northwich or Llandudno apparently yet.

Do you know if either Manchester and/or Liverpool have lost their Holyhead competency as a result?
Yes, Manchester no longer sign any of the route, but Liverpool still do and still retain work between Crewe and Holyhead.

Thanks both. Now we need to see what happens with the planned Crewe depot!Have added both in, so no need to worry! Thanks for the update.

In terms of Avanti a rather specific question. Which drivers depot(s) signs Chester - Sandbach via Middlewich as I know they have occasional booked diverts that way, and also some adhoc ones.
Do any Avanti drivers still sign Hartford to Greenbank via Hartford CLC? If so which depots?
Faversham crew take that one from Faversham I believeWith SE Ramsgate (Non HS) depot, do they sign Sittingbourne to Sheerness as I noticed on RTT that there is a ECS from Ramsgate E.M.U.D to Sittingbourne which then becomes a service to Sheerness
Whole routeFor SE Ramsgate (Non HS) depot, do they sign from Victoria to Dover via Canterbury East or just from Faversham
Don't think Ramsgate sign Sittingbourne to Sheerness as it's predominantly a networker that serves it and I'm pretty sure Ramsgate are the only depot where the drivers don't sign networkers....With SE Ramsgate (Non HS) depot, do they sign Sittingbourne to Sheerness as I noticed on RTT that there is a ECS from Ramsgate E.M.U.D to Sittingbourne which then becomes a service to Sheerness
Predominantly 375/3’s nowpredominantly a networker that serves it
Would be for diversionsIs the signing of Faversham to Dover via Canterbury East for Ramsgate HS drivers for route refresher purposes or for service use
Strood to tonbridge is also signed by slade green link 1Historically, Bromley North was operated with guards from Gillingham (!), but is now DOO.
Which leads on to current branches.
Strood to Tonbridge is signed by Gillingham and Tonbridge (drivers and guards).
Bromley North is exclusively Grove Park drivers.
Sittingbourne to Sheerness is solely Gillingham and Faversham drivers and guards.
I believe it is just Liverpool that sign Chester to Sandbach via Middlewich, and is still being discussed as to whether Holyhead will or won't have that diversion on the route card (it would surely make sense to have it).
Euston depot just sign Crewe-Chester main line, and Preston depot sign Crewe-Chester plus Warrington-Chester but not, AIUI, Middlewich.
As for Hartford to Greenbank I am unsure although many small diversions were removed from depots a few years back, including things like Earlestown and Colwich-Stone.
TPE: Manchester Piccadilly Scarborough link drivers are currently learning to Sheffield

I suspect they do and I wrongly deleted the entire route from Salisbury to Bristol instead of just the section North of Westbury when both depots lost that work, but I'll wait for confirmation from someone at SWR first.Do neither of Salisbury or Yeovil (South Western Railway) sign Salisbury-Westbury?
Both Salisbury and Yeovil Junction Drivers sign Salisbury to Westbury (and Westbury to Yeovil Junction via Frome and Yeovil Pen Mill).Do neither of Salisbury or Yeovil (South Western Railway) sign Salisbury-Westbury?
