    Different Driver Depot, Route and Traction cards

    Yes I understand that but it's easier to say which links can/can't drive them at RG without getting into the fine details. My post only deals with RG/ZU, which I am a part of, not the HX drivers at Paddington. Interestingly, my paper license counterpart lists 387/H NTC only as a seperate...

    Gbrf class 50 true identity enquiry

    Trainee train driver- where to look?

    Individual TOC websites are the best way to find out. Select your local or easily accessible ones (remember some depots require you to live or be able to move to within 30-60mins of booking on point), sign up and select email notifications of trainee vacancies.

    Useless announcements (or bits thereof)

    I believe most station CIS boards run off the headcodes of trains, I know our HSS CIS at GW does for certain.
