Cross Country Snr Conductors - Birmingham

[AgentGemini]

Hi there,

I'm planning to apply and (hopefully!) get into a railway career. Can anybody tell me what the shifts and train workings are like for CC for the Senior Conductors? If I'm right, these are for the 170-DMU worked lines such as Stansted Airport and Nottingham?

Many thanks

New Street sign to Cardiff, Stansted and Nottingham. Plus diversions. 170 only.
Decent shifts tbh earliest start will be about 0445 and latest finish round midnight.
4 day week, Sundays rostered but you can get rid if you want but they’re well paid so most do them.
Loads of new faces as a lot have retired or left in last few years. Good depot.

Do they also sign Leicester?

You may find the Cross Country entry in this thread useful:

Different Guard Depot, Route and Traction cards

Inspired by @craigybagel's excellent thread on the driver depots, routes, and traction cards, I thought I would create one for guards too. This thread will eventually cover all train operating companies, and will detail the routes you may sign (work) for each depot. As with the driver thread...
