As a guard for SWR I know that bit between Basingstoke and Hook on the up has been reported before by staff.

That's platform 3 only at Shawford. Platform 1 and 2 for a 444 is 4 carriages and on a 450 p1 and p2 are 5 carriages and p3 is 4 carriages.

SWR have a problem with ADR at the moment. They have recommended you claim for delay repay via the form on the website or via email to customer services till the problem is fixed.

There is one on the SWR network. But I am not 100% sure where it is.

If you park in the station car parks you have 20 minutes free parking.

London Waterloo to Clapham junction has to be up there. If that counts.

Sorry if this has been asked before but how easy would it be to turn the 350's 3rd rail ready and send the to someone like SWR.

As someone who works on the railways as a guard we could do with more BTP officers.

SWR have ANPR but you can buy car park tickets from the tvm's. All you have to do it put in your reg number and it will match up with the ANPR system. So you don't have to put ticket in car.

It's definitely the shared struggle.

The SWR 450/444 have ASDO automatic selective door opening and the 158/159 have SDO.

You wouldn't do pts or dispatch training. You would only do ticket office and tvm (ticket vending machine). Depending on if you are going to be and a single manned station ie just you. They might give you ramp/passenger assistance training.

A CO3 job is the ticket office supervisor/team leader.

The TOC I work for provides sun screen for anyone who wants it. But it's only SPF23. So I get my own.

Yes they do share the shell and body with the class 350. Seimans did the testing of the class 350 here in SWR land as they also had 3rd rail shoes on them at them time.
