Bristol drivers depot FGW

[rugi]

Hi, can anyone please help me by supplying me with the address for FGW drivers depot in Bristol. Post code will be great, I need to work out if I'm within the hour travel. Thanks in advance.

Thought it was st Phillips marsh?

 

[SkinnyDave]

Thats the maintenance depot is it not?
I thought the drivers were based at Temple Meads

It will be the Maintenance Depot Drivers based at st Phillips marsh.
Passenger drivers are normally based at a station not a maintenance depot.
Not an expert on the area but thats the way it normally works.

As far as I know it's at Bristol Temple Meads, I've applied any how.

The vast majority of Bristol drivers are based at Temple Meads. A very small amount of technical guys are based at St Phillips Marsh depot

St Phillips Marsh is within a mile or two (much less as the crow flies) of Temple Meads. So no real difference.

The highlighted part is relevant I feel!

Anyone can guess!

edit
Twoonthebuzzer seems to have covered it, I am surprised they dont sign to Exeter though.

Taunton - Exeter is only signed by Exeter and Westbury depots, although the latter currently has no booked worked over the route and keep up RK using RF days.
