Hi, I was just wondering if anyone on here is able to tell me what the shift rosta pattern is (including rest day periods) for the LOROL North London Line?.

I've heard that you get 10 day's off every 4/5 weeks. Is this correct, and if so, are the shifts much longer than those on the ELL?

Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated!.

Don't work there but I think it's six days off in a row (would be three at the end of one week - Thursday Friday Saturday, followed by three the next week - Sunday Monday Tuesday). Not sure how often that comes around, but it's probably every 6-8 weeks.

Depots at Watford, Willesden, and Euston, with Euston having a 'satellite link' at Stratford.
A lot of unsociable shifts all over London Overground - plenty of 4am starts or 1am finishes - Euston especially. Out of 12 morning turns at Euston, 7 start before 05:00, and only one starts after 06:00 (at 10:00-something).

Maximum length of a duty is 9 hours 30 minutes, but they average about 8 hours 15 minutes. 4 day week with Sundays included. Work about 1 in 2 Sundays.

Thanks. I had heard from somebody (who heard from a driver there) that it was 10 days off at the end of the shift pattern on the NLL (although on the ELL it is 6 day's off as you mention). However, as it was only hearsay, I was hoping that a LOROL driver for the Willesden depot / NLL line could comment so that I could get confirmation directly from the 'horses mouth' so to speak.

Don't want to hi-jack your thread but what are the shift patterns on the ELL as I'm joining LOROL later this month....
