Well it depends how they do the roster, I dont think southern have split rest days so it will be at least 2 with a long weekend every 3rd week I believe

Hi @Patters1983 do you work for southern?

So how many hours would you normally do in a week as I thought it was 35hr, if so 7 days would be 5 hours a day ?

It's on average 35 hours a week so some weeks you could be doing more and some weeks you could be doing less but all balances out in the end.

For Drivers?

Have a look here:

Southern rail

I am interested in becoming a train driver and wonder if anyone has any idea what southern rail is like to work for as a trainee driver? I am also wondering what the shift pattern is (what times start and finish & how many weekends etc.)

The 7 includes the Sunday which are outside but committed so if you can find cover you don't need to work them but you can't just chuck them in like you can at TL
