Different Driver Depot, Route and Traction cards

[Javelin_55]

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

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

SE Drivers Faversham do not sign Blackfriars anymore.

455 can be removed from all SWR depots.

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

Thanks, all now removed.

No, they've been using pilot drivers.

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!

Chiltern. Birmingham drivers no longer sign London - Aylesbury via Amersham

Thanks, I always found that one a little odd. I'll get it removed.

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

[Purple Train]

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?

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?

 

[Mattplans]

All SE drivers sign London Bridge - Chislehurst

Ashford, Dover, Victoria & Tonbridge sign Maid East via Swanley

Ramsgate have lost Maidstone east?

 

[bigshunts]

Is there an East and West link in Plymouth? And do all drivers sign branch work

 

[irish_rail]

Is there an East and West link in Plymouth? And do all drivers sign branch work

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.

SE Ramsgate Conductors now sign Sittingbourne to Sheerness.

[l3mm]

do crewe lnwr drivers only operate as far as rugby on the trent valley sections and then have a driver swap?
