Hi,

I see EMT have been advertising for Qualified Driver's for Boston and Lincoln for a few weeks now.

Out of interest, does anyone know what routes or traction Boston or Lincoln have?

Thanks in advance for all your help...

Mainly 153s, with some 156s and 158s in the mix. Don't know how far the routes go.

Lincoln I would expect to cover doncaster, Cleethorpes, Nottingham and Peterbourgh.

Boston at the very minimum Skegness - Nottingham

I think it's 10 drivers at Boston, and 24 at Lincoln. If I'm not quite right, it'll be figures near to those anyway.

I also think that Boston do Nottingham to Mansfield, but I'm not as certain on that.

Lincoln also go past Nottingham to Leicester on the 'Ivanhoe Line' service.

Boston do not work west of Nottingham. The guards sign Notts-Skegness, Notts - Lincoln and Lincoln - Sleaford, not sure of the drivers but would imagine it to be the same or similar.

Thanks again for the info. Always interesting to get the inside track on other TOC's!
