Does anyone know on what routes Southern operate as DOO Driver only Operation? I guess all of metro and Brighton mainline is DOO?

Anyone else can correct if I'm wrong, metro routes a lot are DOO with the exception of the following stations:

London Bridge
London Victoria
East Croydon
Purley
Three Bridges
Redhill
Brighton
Gatwick Airport
Clapham Junction
Balham
Haywards heath

The Uckield, east grinstead and Milton Keynes central lines have conductors on board


Hope this helps, I'm going off of memory and my local lin

All southern is now DOO except these services:

313s
171s
Guildford to Dorking
Clapham Junction to Milton Keynes
Redhill to Tonbridge crew dependant

Brighton mainline has no requirement for an OBS nor does metro. OBS worked trains are still technically DOO. Longer distance trains not on the list above tend to have OBS rostered but the driver still does the doors and an OBS may be absent.

East Grinstead is DOO, but has an OBS onboard.

Virtually everything at Southern is DOO now (an OBS being onboard does not change that basic fact). The only services that aren't are those that use 171s and 313s, and on a small amount of routes with 377s that are not yet cleared for it (Clapham Junction - Milton Keynes and London - Guildford are the two that spring to mind immediately, but there may be others).

Except for Link 1 at Norwood & Eastbourne I believe all Southern drivers dispatch DOO the majority of the time (and even at those two it’s a significant minority)
