Hi.

Has anyone got any information about grove park depot ?

Like what ?

From rolling stock to routes

It's a typical SE metro depot.

The only units they don't have is 319's

Are you specifically looking for employment purposes ?

Thank you.

Yeah looking for employment purposes

It's a decent depot with a healthy establishment level. They also have the large sidings there and any Grove Park Driver will know it intimately.

Metro depots are very generic work wise. Southeastern as a whole all work 24/7 with bank holiday's on rotation. Shifts are 1 week late/1 week early. 4.25d working week. Max 9hr 15m diagrams

The biggest distinctions between depots are Metro/Mainline and location for getting to and from work. Grove Park is a 20min walk from the station. Anyone who lives in the area will know the perils but the times we start usually means the roads are empty.

Thank you for the information. Do you work at the depot?

Its not my Depot.

Personally I would concentrate on getting in the door than anything specific to the depot. They are a good bunch down there so nothing to worry about.
