SWR Waterloo depot

[Thomas123]

Can anyone on here help, looking for information on what SWR Waterloo depots work and shift pattern is like for train driver.
What routes do they drive?
Rest day/roster pattern?
Any information will be great
Thanks in advance

Routes signed are Waterloo to:

Hampton court
Shepperton
Waterloo (Kingston rounders)
Waterloo (Hounslow rounders) Weybridge stoppers via hounslow
Chessington south
Guildford via Woking, Cobham and Epsom
Windsor and Eton Riverside
Woking stopper
Clapham yard depot
Wimbledon park depot

As you climb the links which take many years. You gradually add Reading and Portsmouth next, and then Alton and Bournemouth, and then top link adds diesel work to Salisbury.

Roster patter is a true 4 day week with Sundays inside (3 days off each week) all links follow this.

All stoppers for years before moving up the link .
Anyone fancies 3 Kingston Rounders back to back ?
Or 100–140 station stops per day , everyday ?
Welcome to Waterloo ( and most of other suburban depots at SWR).

Most suburban depots in London for that note (which is the majority of all London depots)

Do they have a car park for drivers to use?

Maybe a few spaces but I believe most drivers park at Clapham Yard.

As it is I understand a non residential depot what are the earliest/latest booking on/off times?

Thank you

Clapham will becoming a Train Crew Depot so parking will be very tight as it’s not a big car park anyway especially when it gets its establishment of train crew. Also the congestion charge is supposedly coming down as far as the South Circular Road which Clapham Depot will fall into.

It's the ULEZ coming to the N & S circulars, will catch loads of rail and other shift workers with no other transport options. I can see this becoming a big issue for recruitment (particularly in lower paid jobs like cleaners) at central London depots.
