Different Driver Depot, Route and Traction cards

[iphone76]

Thanks. Aside from the high level platforms, does every depot sign all routes now?

Thanks, duly updated.

Cheers.

No - everything else remains as before. No additional routes for any depots. Ilford are currently learning out to Heathrow, but no booked diagrams until at least May 23.

No problem, got it updated now.

Some changes for GWR: Plymouth, Exeter, Bristol TM and Gloucester GWR Depots now sign though to Paddington (link dependent), GWR Paddington transition link sign to Bristol TM via Box and Hullavington, plus Cardiff (including via Filton).

Paddington HSS no - longer sign Didcot to Oxford
Reading GWR Links 1 and 2 do NOT sign Windsor or Maidenhead - Bourne End / Marlow

At Plymouth it is only HSS who currently sign through to London, Plymouth GWR currently only go to Reading (for now).

Hi

I hope this is the correct thread to write this on. I’ve have been researching SE and its depots. My research keeps coming up with 13 depots, (16 if I include the 3 HS depots). SE tweeted yesterday that they have put defibrillators in 17 of its depots. So, my question is does anyone know what/where the 17th depot is?
Any help regarding this would be very appreciated.

Are they perhaps referring to train maintenance depots rather than train driver depots? Drivers and trains are often not based at the same location.

Thank you very much, this makes a lot more sense.

Does anybody know what is happening with the Crewe Avanti drivers depot?

Postponed again the last I'd heard.

Does anyone know the specific route and traction differences per link for ScotRail at Edinburgh Waverley? Many thanks

 

[Driver068]

Do Grand Central now stable there units over night in Tyne Yard now rather that Heaton Depot?

Yeah looks like it. RTT is showing no paths to Heaton any more for Grand Central. Makes sense to bring them to Tyne Yard from Arriva's point of view as they also maintain the XC Voyager fleet there.

 

[Driver068]

Thats what i thought. I tried to look as far as advanced as i can and they keep showing up at TY not HTN. Wonder why this may be, like you say makes sence. Cheers

Hi. Anyone know Freightliner HH Acton routes please?

I've not seen any sources for that in a long time - since before Tweedbank opened. Back then IIRC bottom link was Edinburgh - Glasgow, Dunblane and Fife Circle. A higher link added North Berwick and then top link went to Dundee. Unfortunately I've nothing more up to date.

Unfortunately I've not included Freight because information is too hard to get hold of - and that in any case with freight drivers it seems to be that route knowledge doesn't just differ between links, but between individual drivers.

These documents show the up to date Scotrail information of which depots sign what including which links sign which.

Thanks very much for that treasure trove, I've gone through it and updated the list as required.

I don't suppose you'd be able to explain the situation at Inverness, where as far as I can tell one link only signs HST's but still manages to sign all routes?

LNER Kings Cross no longer sign the 08 as MK4 sets are no longer split up/swapped around at Bounds Green, appears most of that work now happens in Doncaster with the 67.

So King’s Cross is now 80x and 91 for everyone, 67 for thunderbird link.

SWR Bournemouth you can now add Cosham/Bedhampton to Portsmouth Harbour, although I believe it is a link dependant route.

Salisbury adds Basingstoke to Reading

Thanks, nice to be adding routes for a change!

Birmingham Moor Street lost 68/DVT work in the December timetable change.

Birmingham Moor Street lost 68/DVT work in the December timetable change.

And normal service is resumed with me making cuts on the list again! I'm quite surprised at this one as well, I thought this was core traction for Moor Street? Oh well, I'll edit it now.

 

[Cherry_Picker]

It was a surprising move but the 68s aren’t stabled in Birmingham so Moor Street would have always been first in the crosshairs. The 68s lease is up for renewal next year and I’d not be surprised if they let it expire.

Minor correction for Northern drivers at Skipton: B link sign to Blea Moor, about one mile beyond Ribblehead, with only A link signing beyond there.

Worcester Shrub Hill GWR drivers ( not HSS ) are about to start training on Turbos (165/166) to start driving these from May TT as a part of Metro West frequency increase between Worcester and Bristol .

Time will tell how far they’ll be driving though as none sign the entire route from Worcester to Bristol TM ( some sign up to Bristol Parkway ).

GWR drivers based at Worcester are route learning between Worcester - Cheltenham - Gloucester - Swindon - Didcot ( Reading / London they already sign )

Thanks - I think I already had the route down for Worcester unless I misread things, but I've marked both that and 16x as currently learning.
