Thameslink Three Bridges no longer sign the diversion to Brighton via Lewes.

However Three Bridges Link 1 signs St Pancras/Kings Cross up to Hornsey for the purpose of fleet moves.

Thameslink Horsham also signs Finsbury Park - King's Cross.

Here is an up to date list of which routes and tractions that the LNWR and WMR drivers sign at each depot.

Thanks for this. I've had a quick scroll through and it looks like there's a few things I need to update.

Another fantastic document. Thanks for sharing. Again, it’s nice to see depot establishment and the link structures. If only every company had this :D

Surely a mistake, but they've missed off Worcester-Hereford plus sidings at Henwick, Malvern Wells and Hereford Diesel sidings

Will/did any of the Preston TPE depot learn the Settle line to account for closures etc like Avanti?

TPE aren't running via the S&C and Avanti have been using route conductors.

I hadn't even noticed the TPE bit in that question, I'd just assumed it was in reference to Avanti since only they were running the diversions!

Thanks. I assume Euston and Stirling depots will sign the same routes but only those on their respective sides of Preston?

For Worcester Shrub Hill GWR, there's a section that says they sign "Worcester-Worcester". Is this a typo - for Hereford perhaps?

Also, would Class 230s go into Paddington GWR as signed traction, given 230001's emergence on the Greenford branch?

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==

Sorry, another question - given the relatively new Southeastern-operated Maidstone East-Charing Cross service, could anybody confirm which Southeastern depots sign Chislehurst-St Mary Cray please?

Is there an East and West link in Plymouth? And do all drivers sign branch work
Click to expand...
No, all drivers at Plymouth go both east and West. The starter links just do Cornwall to Exeter, whilst higher links add Reading and London.
Regarding branch work, yes, all drivers at Plymouth (mainline) sign Gunnislake. Many also sign Looe (GWR side) , and the vast majority (both HSS and GWR) sign Newquay.
