Greetings

Does anybody know what shift patterns Northern Rail Maintenance Depot Drivers work at Neville Hill? I'm guessing it's mostly nights, but to know more be helpful. :)

Unfortunately, Maps has stopped.
I'm fairy sure Beveridges will be along shortly to bore you to tears about the job and tell you how he gets so excited doing it, it gives him an erection. As he is the all-knowing oracle on such matters, I shall leave it to him.

Basically according to him it's better than mainline driving. Having been a depot driver and now a mainline I know what I prefer. I would expect to be looking at 12hour turns of mornings and nights moving units around but you'll probably spend more time on the ground at first.

This reminds of a playground a bit - spoke with him lots over the years and i'm convinced he's a decent chap. A lot of what he's told me I might find about the industry I have actually gone on to find out to have a bit of substance.

He probably is a good person to get in touch with regarding your query unless there's another depot driver knocking about.
