Afternoon all - I've finally had time to go through and do some big updates. The biggest changes have been a long desired tidy up of Southeastern's metro depots which I hope I've done justice to - however I think it's inevitable with such a complicated network I'll have made some mistakes so please let me know if that is the case.
I've deleted Northern and LNWR 319s (yes I know Northerns are still in service on an ad-hoc basis but they'll end soon and I'm assuming no new training will take place), TfW 170s (see Northern 319s) and TPE 68s. On the plus side, I've added 730s to LNWR Bletchley, and updated training on these units for Crewe and Wolves which I understand is now taking place. I've also added 221s to GC at Bradford.
Thanks as always for the many posters publicly and privately who've helped me to keep this list going.
To catch up on all of the other info I've had passed on to me over the last few weeks:
I am not sure if you are interested in this or not but i have aquired the current up to date Irish Rail drivers information.
I know it is not really the UK but many of their drivers drive trains in to the UK (NI) and the railway network is certainly the most similar to ours.
Thanks again for this, it's been very informative. I think I'm going to leave this aside as relatively speaking it's only a small amount of drivers a small amount of the time that work into the United Kingdom - and that if I included all of Irish Rail I should following the same logic include all of SNCF and SNCB through their Eurostar work! I'd love to see continued discussion of IR ops on it's own thread however.
Hi all,
I’ve had a wee look through all of the replies but I can’t seem to see the info I’m after if anyone can help.
Is there an updated route and traction card for LNER drivers based at Doncaster?
I believe it’s only a small depot - any ideas how many drivers are based there?
Thanks all!
I've subsequently discovered that LNER drivers no longer cover their 67 thunderbirds, so 67s have been deleted from Doncaster and Kings Cross depots.
Liverpool Street (ex Anglia) sign 755s now too, a couple of diagrams have booked 755s now. In terms of routes, there's also a diagram where they refresh High Meads, so I imagine that is on their route card.
Thanks, updated.
Tyseley drivers, whilst being mainline drivers do not come off the depot & stay fully within depot boundaries. It’s basically a sub depot of New St & managed by New St. the drivers are a mixture of medically restricted/removed from Mainline/volunters. The same applies for Soho.
Worcester also has a dedicated shed link on the same basis as Tyseley,but obviously that’s not seperate from the main depot.
Thanks, I think that confirms my suspicions that Tysley is best left off of this thead.
SWR Strawberry Hill have now lost Waterloo to Guildford via Cobham
Thanks, updated.
