Thank you eastdyke and ScottDarg :-)

Can any one tell me what routes these operate on please and maybe what driver depots operate them? Many thanks Darren

Contact controlling signal box and act on instructions, we do have GSM-R you know! :wink: Cheers :) but sometimes the pesky GSM-R can put you through to the wrong box..

Cheers. On Absolute block, if your train fails is it emergency protection or just assistance protection?

Hi. The GWR mainline from Exeter St Davids down to Penzance does it still have semaphore signalling and Absolute block sections or is it all colour light TCB now?? Many thanks Darren.

Hi. I am looking to find out any info on routes, rosters, traction and links for drivers at Penzance depot for GWR. Many thanks Darren

When I depart on an HST, I always apply notch 2 or 3 if needed, then when speed is about 20-25 mph gradually open up more power.... Unless it was back in the Valenta engine days and there were a few spotters wanting to hear the Valenta scream......... Then it was full wack :D

Am I right in thinking if you fail the test you do not get the job, even though your last test was a pass and is still current?

Ok that sounds good. I am a current driver with 15 years experience of driving HST`s out of London and i am looking at moving to Devon or Cornwall. I would love to work driving over the branch lines but do not want to give up the HST work......My application has been sent in to the GWR...

Cheers irish_rail. Sounds like a good depot with varied work. How does it compare to Plymouth?

Hi, I am looking for any information on being a driver for GWR at Exeter. What sort of routes do you work?, traction?, annual leave allowance? etc etc Do you have a High speed link and a separate local link? Any help will be great. Darren
