Different Driver Depot, Route and Traction cards

[Class2ldn]

And welwyn drivers are learning sevenoaks and orpington.


Yep 100% as already posted they do the early/late crew changes on the rainham services. They also do a few trips upto bedford/luton and back down.

Also they have booked work into low level, late saturday night and early sunday morning trains.

Ah ok,Yeah i knew they did low level because of sutton but didn't think they went down from blackfriars.
They need to go somewhere else then sutton i guess lol.
Three bridges are still signing East Grinstead but no booked work over it, got a Q path we can book instead

I think the whole Thameslink section needs some minor edits as crew changes now take place at London Bridge vice Blackfriars after the May' 18 fiasco to prevent the line being blocked.

I believe they still have some booked changeovers at blackfriars, not 100% as my depot only use London Bridge.
We just have death by bedford and back on the slows via redhill lol

Thames link

Cricklewood also sign

London blackfriarsto London Bridge

Im sure only some drivers do, as when the fire under Elephant happened some services diverted via Peckham and London Bridge

 

[RealTrains07]

West Midlands Trains
Northampton does also sign 319s and will include class 730s in the future

Majority of sutton services are St Albans drivers who do not sign via London bridge.

The rest are Cricklewood/Luton or Bedford drivers who sign the diversion via London bridge and Peckham

What do you mean ‘divert via Peckham?’

I’m still under the impression (I will stand corrected though) that Cricklewood do not sign London Bridge.

All Cricklewood drivers sign London Bridge. They take the first Rainham services of the day from the depot to London Bridge where a Gillingham or Luton driver will take over. And it's it's same in the evening where they take the last services from London Bridge (services from Rainham) to West Hampstead, then empty to the depot.

Sometimes, the first Sutton services on a Sunday start at London Bridge. This is worked by Cricklewood drivers who will take it via Peckham Rye and Tulse Hill to Sutton.

 

[Class2ldn]

Its St albans that don't sign it , I thought it was cricklewood but I'm sure its just St albans actually

Thanks for clarifying

Yeah, as St Albans only sign Sutton Loops with little to no diversions.

 

[RJM]

153’s now in service on the West Highland Line, assume it’ll be Glasgow Queen St (WHL link), Oban, Fort William and Mallaig who sign them?

Don't think FW or Mallaig sign them yet, as the 153s are only on Oban services so far.

Ashford (AD) Thameslink Drivers are currently Route learning (in Training Bubbles given current circumstances)
London Kings Cross-Welwyn Garden City including Welwyn Sidings and the Hornsey flyover (but not the depot) in preparation for a Peak hour Sevenoaks-Welwyn Garden City service expected to start next May.

Some minor amends for EMR.

No depots sign HSTs as of May ‘21 timetable change.

Kettering is now an active depot. They do not sign Manton diversion, but do sign Cauldwell depot, Bedford (light maintenance on the 360 fleet is done here).

Thanks both, added in.

And welwyn drivers are learning sevenoaks and orpington.

Did WGC not already sign down there?

Update to my update. Plymouth GWR drivers now sign 255 (2+4 hst)

Plymouth HSS drivers no longer sign Liskeard to Looe

West Midlands Trains
Northampton does also sign 319s and will include class 730s in the future

Thanks both added in.

I've done a bit of editing today having finally had time at my PC (editing a thread this long on a mobile is a nightmare!) - any further fixes need doing as always keep them coming my way!

Also, I'm still looking for details on Eurotunnel at Cheriton, GWR at Bristol Parkway and Southeastern at Dover so if anyone has that information I'd be especially grateful!

GWR Parkway traction will be 800/802only.
Routes as yet unconfirmed.

 

[_toommm_]

Presumably York TPE also sign Doncaster IEP Depot to Leeds (via Westgate), to get this early morning ECS off the depot:

Realtime Trains - 5P08 0335 Doncaster Carr Iep Depot to York

Realtime Trains is an independent source of live realtime running information for the Great British railway network.

Not yet, it's currently still done with a GBRF route conductor. Eventually it will be on the route card though, as with Doncaster IEP-York.

I've added some info in here, but might not be 100% accurate.

Cheers. That leaves us with just two, which are coincidentally only a few miles away from each other: Cheriton & Dover.

 

[Mattyblob]

Eurotunnel Cheriton only sign Class 9's and the route is literally a giant figure of eight between Cheriton and Coquelles.

The 'chef de train' only drives for 50% of the time and monitors CCTV from the back cab for the remainder.

Although they unnecessarily require applicants to pass the OPC tests to an enhanced standard they're not given a train driving license with any recognition outside of the company once qualified, so I'm not sure they would qualify to be on this list (in the same way that LU aren't).

Thanks for that, interesting to know!

In that case, I'll delete Eurotunnel from the list unless anyone has any objections? Given LU isn't included it seems reasonable to exclude Eurotunnel as well.

Seems fine to me!

Just some extra (maybe pointless) detail

Northern (Liverpool Lime Street) are now link specific routes

Link 1 exclusively sign Ellesmere Port but lose Preston - Blackpool North.

Link 1 & 2 sign Man Vic to Stalybridge

Class 769’s also link specific.

Hopefully others can expand the above.

Definitely not pointless, it's all appreciated. I'd always assumed Ellesmere Port would be link specific given the limited amount of work there but I couldn't post it until confirmed. I'm surprised about Blackpool though.

Liverpool have hardly any Blackpool work anymore which I assumed was the reason why.

There’s a few jobs that just do Liverpool to Preston only or do Preston - Manchester Oxford Road / Airport via Wigan and the Chat Moss.

 

[Jackofspades]

Are the Southeastern Depots that now sign 707s be added?

 

[Horizon22]

They can be if someone is aware which depots are included. I would assume all Metro depots in London?

I know Orpington and Grove park 100% do. I’d imagine slade green, dartford and Charing Cross would too but Victoria i have no idea. Any SE drivers on here?

Little update on MTR Crossrail.

Abbey Wood and Plumstead no longer have any 315 work
Abbey Wood and Plumstead also sign Whitechapel to Shenfield

Next update possibly due in December, however, Gidea Park for sure will not be learning past Old Oak Common depot until 2022/23.

Do they still sign the Bradford-Leeds part?
