Does anybody have information regarding the earliest start times and latest finishes plus a copy of the master roster for this depot? Im just trying to way up my options in regards to commuting and seeing if its feasible for my current location. Thanks all.

Is the job high speed or London themes?

Thanks for the reply.

It doesn’t specify unfortunately. It just reads Qualified Drivers Position - East Region.

Job will be LTV ( local stuff ) believe there are some very early starts but can't help more I'm afraid...

PAD depot operates effectively 24hrs, they cover about half of the overnight trains to RDG. As a result their start times aren't as early as some depots.

earliest on is around 0315, latest finish 0220 plus a few nights.

They sign 165/166 and 387s. There are some Link1 LTV drivers that sign HSTs. Pad sign Reading, Didcot Greenford, Windsor, Oxford, Bedwyn. Depots are Old Oak and North Pole.
