Think the earliest is 0500 and latest is 0100 plus nights.
04.54 earliest and 00.30 latest except when amended. Some nights usually two to four every two or three months.

Thanks! Would you also know if Sundays are outside and what availability of RDW is like?

Does the £58k include London weighting?

Thanks, I thought 58k sounded a bit low for London!

Most definitely, especially for a so-called intercity operation. At least 10k shy of East/West coast.
Not all about the money. EMR has some better T&C than East & West.

Most definitely mate & why some EMR drivers who commute into London have never considered working anywhere else.

Oh yes, I fully agree. All things considered they are still on the low side with comparable TOCs in London though.
AIUI it some drivers left Avanti and took a pay cut to go to EMR at St Pancras.
I think they can still be RD Sunday and go from late Saturday to early Monday, which wouldn’t happen at my TOC.
How many days in a row do they do, is it 7 maximum?

Do you mean Hidden? That’s 13 consecutive days, 12hrs rest between shifts & no more than 72hrs in a week.

I mean in the roster, without working any OT.

Sounds about right all though I’ve never seen theirs. Ours would be seven unless any FD swap had taken place which could raise it to 9.
Technically not a Rest Day. If Sunday outside the working week it's deemed as a transitional day between Late and Early. That's why you can finish at 02:30 Sunday and be back in 05:30 Monday.
If Sunday inside, it has to be a Rest Day.

Do new qualified drivers at St Pan drive both 360 and 222? Or initially one of the two? Thank you

Yes and for those i know who live in East Essex that would be free now as both GA and EMR are owned by the same parent company.Do new qualified drivers at St Pan drive both 360 and 222? Or initially one of the two? Thank you
