No idea I'm afraid, that's just what was passed on to me. The Southeastern network is arguably the most complex of any TOC in the country, and I don't have the knowledge base to go any more in depth than what I've been given.
Its been a while since I was there but grove Park link 2 used to sign all metro routes except blackfriars to Denmark Hill via elephant and didn't sign from blackfriars to met junction, that was only link 1 but might have changed now. AFAIK still sign to Gillingham as well but not 100% since TL go down there now
Thanks @craigybagel for maintaining this list, which for someone who many years ago compiled diagrams for the Southern's South Western Division is very interesting (Salisbury drivers working EMUs?...Bourrnemouth drivers signing the Portsmouth direct?...would never have happened in my day!).
Anyway, a minor point on the SWR list - I think you can safely remove the class 456 from Farnham and Feltham depots.
Thinking about it some more, it seems especially weird that the PM only link is the one that signs all routes like the old senior link when in my experience PM shifts are less popular and I would expect that to be more of a starter link thing. It'll be interesting to see if it proves popular and spreads to other depots?

No problem. I never expected the whole thing to get completed in the first place, but now it is I figured I might as well keep it as up to date as possible! I've removed the leftover 456s, I must have missed them when I took them off the other depots.

[Regarding Leeds losing Carlisle work] Yes, same. There's an outside chance the decision may be reversed but at the moment that's the state of play. Skipton will gain the Leeds-crew diagrams.
Looking at it Carlisle is in the Leeds diagrams for December (the Traincrew diagrammers look to have more or less finished D23). Minimal changes from May.
If it had to be removed from Leeds at this late stage either the D23 timetable change would be put at huge risk or the upcoming STP blocks. These sorts of changes would need to be negotiated well in advance of a timetable change (minimum 6 months) to allow for proper planning of it and mutual exchange of work between the depots.

HSTs now withdrawn from all CrossCountry depots.
West Midlands Trains also have a depot at Tyseley for shunt moves around the depot only staffed by fully qualified mainline drivers. Not sure if you feel this merits an additional depot section?

Thanks, I've removed XC HSTs from all depots. I think I'll leave Tyseley out unless other people feel different - adding depot drivers, even though at Tyseley they're mainline qualified, will probably over complicate things.

OK. Just thought I'd mention as depot staffed by fully qualified drivers as opposed to depot drivers in a different grade and they do advertise vacancies there. But agree it would complicate things.
If I can get enough info together about different TOCs I'll look into maybe starting a depot drivers thread. Though with the range of different operating practices out there it would be difficult!

I've just gone through every depot and updated some things that I know have changed (for example, deleting 175s from TfW and 707s from SWR) - as always if anybody is aware of any inaccuracies, or can fill in any missing information (some depots are notably more bare bones than others) please do let me know - either by replying to this thread or via PM.

This is wonderful, thank you very much. As soon as I get chance I'll add these to the list, unless the mods object. Anyone who knows me in person will understand why this list is of particular interest to me.
A few questions if I may:
Is there any linking structure in place at the larger depots? I'd always assumed that not all the drivers at Connolly for example signed all the way to Rosslare? But then I'd always assumed that none of them signed that far, and that drivers still worked to the crossing point like how Sligo was worked for years.....
Speaking of Rosslare, I was under the impression there was a depot there, but obviously it's not listed. Are the early starters from Rosslare covered by Waterford these days?
Do Ballina really only go as far as Manulla Junction? I would have expected Claremorris at the very least if not all the way to Athlone?
Also I bet there's an interesting story behind that one driver in Mullingar!

No worries. Glad it is of use. I have just checked now regarding your questions.
Ireland does not have links in the same way that the UK does. All depots sign all routes. However at the largest depots (Dublin Connolly and Dublin Heuston) drivers will not sign every route from day one. When the drivers first pass out they will sign a more limited selection of routes. For at Dublin Connolly this is normally just the Dublin Pearse and Dublin Docklands to Dundalk and Maynooth and M3 Parkway routes initially and for at Dublin Heuston this is normally just the Dublin Heuston to Cork and Galway routes initially. Then the drivers will gradually sign all of the other routes within the next twelve to eighteen months. But eventually all drivers sign all routes so there is no links. At all of the other depots they sign the full selection of routes from day one.
Ballina depot does indeed just sign Ballina to Manulla and Westport to Manulla only. Ballina drivers just work the Manulla Junction to Ballina shuttle only. The only exception is one train a day in each direction between Manulla Junction and Westport which a Ballina driver works over this short section only.
Rosslare no longer has a depot. It used to but it closed many years ago. Waterford then started signing the Rosslare to Dublin route to cover the early morning and late evening trains that start and finish at Rosslare station. The drivers are taxied to and from Waterford depot. Quite a few of the Rosslare drivers transferred to Waterford when the depot closed.
Mullingar has always been the smallest drivers depot. They have had just one driver based there for over fifteen years. I am not sure on the story behind it but i will try and find out more. There is also a similar situation with Guards at Dundalk depot which has just one Guard based there.
Driver diagrams in Ireland can be rather odd and certainly make for interesting reading. Despite being a small network there are some journeys that use three drivers (meaning two driver changeovers) in one journey. They way they work out all the diagrams is certainly interesting.
Let me know if you have any other questions and i will try and find out.

I for one world be fascinated to learn more about the crewing situation in Ireland - if you had the time and inclination to do so, perhaps a dedicated thread would be in order?

Ballina drivers also work the freight trains from Ballina to Athlone.
They do not work to Westport.
Athlone drivers also drive the freight from Athlone to Ballina.
Also, Rosslare is still a depot - the drivers based there don’t work any other route apart from Rosslare-Connolly. Waterford drivers act as relief cover when needed.
On traction:
Cork drivers also know the 2800s
Limerick drivers also know the 2600s
Waterford and Westport drivers also know Class 201 locomotives
Some Cork drivers would know Class 071 locomotives
One of the most common questions asked on this forum is what do train crew at a particular depot sign. Given we have an excellent thread listing every depot for every TOC in the country, and we have staff representing most if not all TOCs as well, I've been attempting to collate a list of every Passenger Driver Depot on the National Rail network, and the routes and traction that drivers at those depots are expected to sign.
I've copied the list of depots over from the other thread (and thanks to @godfreycomplex for doing a great job of updating it) and now that it's complete, I'm hoping we can keep it as up to date as possible.
I would like to be able to do freight at some point but have held off for now as at many depots it's a bit more of a grey area of different drivers signing different bits. For those looking for Guards depots, _toommm_ has created a thread here.
In the interests of clarity and saving time in what is a very long list, whilst I'm listing all routes signed at each depot I'm not normally listing traction depots/stabling points, unless access to those depots forms a route in it's own right (for example, Wolverhampton based Avanti drivers sign all the way to Barton under Needwood to bring 221s on and off the Bombardier facility there). I am though trying to distinguish between which routes/tractions are only signed by certain links at each depot, and give full details of what links do what work when that information is available.
If anybody is able to help add to this list,or to correct any errors or out of date information that may have appeared, please pass your information on to me, either via a PM or by replying to the thread below, and I'll try to update the top post ASAP.
As always, whilst I try to keep this list as accurate as possible, no guarantees are given as to how accurate the below information is - For best results, speak to an ASLEF rep at the depot concerned!

Liverpool Street (ex Anglia) sign 755s now too, a couple of diagrams have booked 755s now. In terms of routes, there's also a diagram where they refresh High Meads, so I imagine that is on their route card.
