Westbury - Portsmouth Hbr
Westbury - Bristol Temple Meads via Bath
Westbury - Swindon via Melksham & Chippenham

You will also sign diversionary routes.

Other routes you may also sign
Swindon - Cheltenham Spa via Gloucester & Stroud
Bristol Temple Meads - Gloucester via Bristol Parkway
Bristol Temple Meads - Cardiff Central via Patchway

It will also depend which link you are placed in, as routes vary

Isn't Cardiff a regular route ?

They don't sign Gloucester or Cheltenham

Apologies, but the majority should be correct. I work in LTV land and only going off drivers I know in that neck of the woods

Cardiff maybe a regular route, but there are crew changes at Bristol thrown into the mix
