TFW Conductors at Crewe

[adw2013]

Hi all,

I have an interview this Friday for a qualified conductor job with TFW based at Crewe. I’ve been a guard with another TOC for 7 years but the commute and shift pattern are starting to take their toll, so looking to move to a depot closer to home and with more reasonable shifts - I believe TFW have 4 day weeks with optional Sunday’s, but happy to be told otherwise!

I was wondering if their were any Crewe based TFW conductors on here who may be able to shed any light on the role - roster patterns, diagrams, which routes and traction are signed (I have found a post with routes on but its from 2012!) etc.

Thanks all
