Guards daily work

[garethmorgan]

Hi

I have recently applied for a train guards position with SWT based at Guidford.

I have been given an idea of the shift pattern but would like to some idea of a daily guards schedual of work ie typical daily train working and route schedual for a guard for this station.

Could someone perhaps give me some examples of the above

Many thanks, Gareth.

Good luck with getting the job!

Very interesting link! Can tell 20 years old be on a clause 9 for touching anything in the cab now. Guard prep train and pick a set up from depot, long gone memory. Catering trolley, station staff, integrated timetable and teamwork. The railway of yesteryear alas. Trains are proably DOO now.

I still prep units at the depot when required to pick it up there. Though not as often as we used to. Pre departure check should be carried out when taking a unit out from terminal station that is just out depot also, or if taken over from another member of staff who you haven't had a chance to confer with.
