Horsham, Orpington, Gillingham, Cricklewood, St Albans and Luton have been active TL depots since May.

not sure if Welwyn and Hornsey are open yet
Ashford is obviously the other yet to open

Peterborough is a mixed TL/GN depot now mostly TL although they retain GN uniforms
Cambridge will be the same I guess

So had my interview on the 4th of July for the MDD role at heaton Newcastle for Northern , 4 days later recieved a confirmation email that I had passed interview, only just had a phone call last night at 17:50 to invite me to Manchester this Friday for testing - talk about short notice had nothing through the post as in information pack etc just a email which followed the phone call with all the information in....... surely 4 days notice is not enough - now going to have to speak with work in regards to day off sort child care etc... lady on the phone had said there could be another date for testing back end of November but unsure if this will hinder my opportunity for the position if I select the later testing date ?? Anyone shed any light on the matter thanks

Pedantry edit suggestion - Gloucester actually has TMs and Conductors, albeit all in one link. They are (currently) a separate grade

PAD-Malvern via GCR, Pad-BTM via box, Pad-Cdf. Swindon-Gcr, Btm-Severn Beach, Taunton and Westbury. Westbury-Swindon via Melksham.
150, 153, 158/9, 165/6 IET and HST

Conductors don't sign HSTs (but do IETs) and some are starting to learn Paddington

Interesting about Conductors. Will they be paid TM rate?

Swindon needs adding as a driver depot for GWR as of tomorrow (27th)

EDIT: also Heathrow Express should probably be removed entirely - they're now effectively under GWR Paddington, although HEX drivers are strictly speaking a separate grade at present.

Probably easier put as Pad (LTV) Pad (HEX)

Although by rights it's not part of WMT train crew. But shouldn't Stourbridge Junction appear under a driver depot being as both Drivers and Guards are based there for the Stourbridge Town work.

For ScotRail, both Corkerhill and Shields depots are driver depots also. Other than that the lists are perfect.

I can remember around six or seven years ago seeing a job advert for a conductor at Taunton. Have GWR moved the coductor booking on station away from Taunton in recent years?
