Hey, does anyone know the actual routes for a non-commercial guard? I understand these are different from commercial, but what exactly is different? Thanks!

I believe non-commercial guards work suburban services (worked by 455s/456s), whereas commercial guards work mainline services. I'm not entirely sure about reading/windsor/hounslow services.

Dorking
Guildford via Cobham
Epsom
Shepperton
Windsor
Hounslow
Strawberry Hill
Woking stoppers
Weybridge to Waterloo via Staines
Possibly Reading (?)
Chessington
Kingston
Hampton Court

Most of these places stink of money

Depends what depot the Guard is based at.

Staines, Guildford & Woking commercials / non commercials sign the same routes regardless of grade for their depots. So Woking non commercials still sign Pompey/Alton etc along with metro.

However Waterloo non commercial only sign metro routes (Waterloo-Guildford/Chessington/Hampton Court/Dorking/Reading/Windsor/Shepperton etc)
where as Waterloo commercial some links sign all of the above and Alton/Basingstoke/Pompey/Poole/Salisbury etc.
Down to what depot really.

Waterloo Commercial Guards still have duties which involve metro work / windsor side work.
