XC Qualified Driver New Street

[scally]

Morning everyone.

Just looking for some info regarding Cross Country Drivers based at Birmingham New Street.

Which traction and routes do they sign and what is their shift pattern?
Sunday's included?

I know they only take drivers with 18months experience so i'm currently 2 months short, but would just like to know any information regarding this depot if anyone could help.

Thanks.

The top link sign all traction HST's Voyagers and 170's Sundays are included in the working week, Cant be specific regarding shift patterns (im not 100% sure on these) but i know there are some night turns and turns which begin around 3am

sundays are NOT part of the working week however it would be up to you to cover them if you wanted to throw one in. You would go in on link 3 which is 170s only

Would overtime/RDW generally be available at a XC Depot, or is this generally less than a local regional TOC?

You have pretty much got everyone of those statements wrong, or half wrong
There is no "top link" as such and only a small link sign all traction. No link signs all routes.
Sundays are outside the week and we have no night turns.

Any new starter would be into the starter link. They will sign 170s only and only Nottingham - Cardiff and Stansted. Also Tyseley depot.
