Southern Train Crew Depots

[OpsWeb]

Hi,

I am looking at the possability of transferring to a Driver job within Southern. I know they have Driver depots in:

Brighton
Barnham
Selhurst
Victoria
London Bridge
Horsham

Is there any I have missed?

Also, I see they are building a new "super-depot" at Three Bridges. Can anyone tell me if Driver's will be based there? If so, when?

As always, thanks in advance for any help!

There are already some Southern drivers at Three Bridges (a small number) and I do understand there are quite a few more moving to the Thameslink depot at some point. I've overheard discussions but have unfortunately taken little notice of the specifics.

You've missed:
Caterham
Epsom (very small!)
Norwood Junction
Redhill
Eastbourne

Thanks. Didn't realise they had so many depots! Will be interesting to see Three Bridges become fully operational...

Yeah well there's loads of thameslink drivers who live at three bridges or around there including me, I've heard around a 100 drivers will be needed. Be a few upset people if the southern guys get first dibs on it.

There is already a Southern depot at Three Bridges. They are just building a new one for GTR.

Caterham and Epsom both have 18 drivers.

And apparently Streatham Hill will be opening up as a driver depot again in December, with on going talks of reopening Tattenham Corner depot.

Used to be one. Not sure when that would open if it did though as there are currently no facilities for staff.

Sounds like a busy time for Southern. My current TOC is currently in the process is shutting certain driver depots!

Cheaper to have remote booking on and a drivers depot there if you have trains stabled over night

There is a crew / mess room on the Platform with a key coded door. Same at Epsom.
