Diagrams are mainly Plymouth to Birmingham. There are the odd jobs that involve getting off at Bristol then working down to Paignton, back to Bristol and then to Plymouth. There are a couple of early (06:00-ish) turns down to Penzance. At weekends now you may also go to Stoke or Derby as well.

Are u u sure about the derby and stoke bits???! If be very surprised if they could get that far after all Birmingham is 3 and a half hours from Plymouth I can't believe they could carry on to derby or stoke???!!! Happy to be corrected. They also do Newquay in summer. No shunting on laira either just bring the train to depot shed and us gwr guys take over!

Sorry - forgot to clarify - the catering staff can now go as far as Derby/Stoke on a weekend. The other grades go as far as Brum generally.

I was assuming you meant drivers as they are recruiting currently.
Driver wise they sign Birmingham although not sure they go there that often , more likely to do a bristol.
