Different Guard Depot, Route and Traction cards

[Horizon22]

Gloucester (Train Managers - HSS):
Traction: 158 165 166 387 (some) IET
Route:
Gloucester to London via Kemble
Gloucester to Cardiff via Lydney
Gloucester to Great Malvern
Gloucester to Taunton
Bristol TM to London (via Swindon)
Cardiff to London (via Swindon)
Bristol TM to Severn Beach
Swindon to Westbury via Melksham

Swansea TMs do 387s as well as 80x

Plymouth TMs do
150 158 80X 255 . There used to be a sleeper assist turn, but that's gone back to Exeter now.

Thanks added.

For "via Swindon" can you clarify if that is via Box or Hullavington (Bristol PW) or both?

From the December Timetable change, TfW Crewe and Shrewsbury guards will lose knowledge of Llandrindrod - Llanwrtyd. All HOWL services will cross at Llandrindrod.

Additionally, from that point Crewe guards will no longer be signing Shrewsbury - Birmingham International.

Updated.

Just some small edits for Northern

Carlisle sign 156s and 158s. They work Carlisle to Leeds and Carlisle to Newcastle (not sure if they have any other routes on top of that).

Huddersfield sign Leeds - Man Vic (via Bradford and via Dewsbury), Leeds to Huddersfield, Huddersfield to Sheffield, Huddersfield to Bradford Interchange (not sure what traction they sign)

Leeds don't sign 156s.

York sign 155s, not 156s.

Northern Carlisle conductors lost Dumfries in Dec 2021. They do however sign through to Morpeth (unlike the drivers).


150/1, 150/2, 158, 195.

Some do but I don't think new starters sign it in.

Thanks for adding and clarifying. Is that the full list of Huddersfield routes?

Thanks for adding and clarifying. Is that the full list of Huddersfield routes?

Not sure I'm afraid, it's a bit beyond my patch and I don't know any Huddersfield crew.

Edinburgh updates -
380s have been removed from traction cards.
HSTs are links 1 & 2 only
Can confirm that the Sub and Haymarket shed are removed.

Glasgow Central no longer sign 158s

Presumably that means drivers no longer sign 380s either?

Can anyone tell me what routes Northern Huddersfield guards sign?

Given the 756s have entered service should expect either Cardiff Central (valleys) and Treherbert guards sign them?

Those two and Rhymney - all the valleys depots cover the entire network. Even Taffs Well based crews when that depot opens will sign Stadlers

TfW Crewe guards sign 67/Mk4s, noticed they’re missing from the traction list on here.

MKIVs anyway - they don't tend to have much to do with the noisy end of the train.

Crewe prep the MKIVs as well as Cardiff don’t they?

 

[FrodshamJnct]

Crewe prep the MKIVs as well as Cardiff don’t they?

I think the point being made is they sign the MkIV sets, not the 67s.

 

[craigybagel]

I think the point being made is they sign the MkIV sets, not the 67s.

Exactly this. Crewe, Cardiff and Holyhead guards all prep the MKIVs (Shrewsbury also sign them but are no longer competent on prep), but have nothing to do with the loco itself. I don't believe the 67 is specified on their traction card (it certainly wasn't in MKII & MKIII days) and nor is there any reason for it to be.

 

[MP393]

MKIVs anyway - they don't tend to have much to do with the noisy end of the train.

Quite right. I guess I only listed it like that as that’s just how I’ve always referred to them, but it is only mk4s of course. And no nothing on the traction card which states 67s, the only part that does is the crew diagrams which say “67” but that’s rather off topic

My apologies, I didn't realise you were internal. And yes, the 67 on the diagram cards always amused me!

Thanks, admittedly I was only removing known incorrect information from the original post (in 2021) for those depots rather than adding it as I’m less familiar with the East than I am the Western side

 

[TGW Bahn]

Inspired by @craigybagel's excellent thread on the driver depots, routes, and traction cards, I thought I would create one for guards too. This thread will eventually cover all train operating companies, and will detail the routes you may sign (work) for each depot.

As with the driver thread, I'll be heavily reliant on contributions from other forum members, and will update the thread as soon as I see submissions. Whilst I'll try to keep the list as up to date as I can, the information may not immediately disseminate from the comments into this thread. As of April 2024, we are still looking for information of the following depots:



If you wish to retain your anonymity, feel free to private message me and I’ll add your contribution without your name being public.

If you're reading this as an applicant, good luck

I would assume given the 150s are Devon and Cornwall and the castles don't venture further north than Exeter in service that these are no longer signed or in limited numbers? Wondering as it seems along way from their depot.

I would assume given the 150s are Devon and Cornwall and the castles don't venture further north than Exeter in service that these are no longer signed or in limited numbers? Wondering as it seems along way from their depot.

Limited numbers, traction knowledge still heavily retained for 255s especially. 150s is less common especially now. We all still sign 159s thanks to when they were regulars along the Swindon to Gloucester line lent from SWT/SWR.

 

[swrfanatic]

Does Woking SWR depot only have commercial guards, as recently SWR put out apps for Metro Guards for the Woking Depot?

 

[Pumbaa]

Woking used to have both when I was there - one main link for each plus accommodated sub-links as required. Route knowledge was trained to be the same, I think Portsmouth was required for Commercial but we ended up training non-Commercial down there anyway to ensure coverage.

This is still the case.

 

[Thomas6187]

It appears that Buxton Conductors are learning 323s. I've noticed that they tend to using the Manchester Piccadilly-Alderley route as training runs.

 

[Horizon22]

Hi all just updated this, thanks for all your inputs.

 

[craigybagel]

150 may as well be deleted from TfW Chester, and both those and 153s from Holyhead and Llandudno Junction. They're being allowed to drop off their cards when they lose competence after going a year without working them.

Also, Cardiff Valleys sign 231s.

WMR can delete 323s from Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton, and add 150s to Bletchley.

Stourbridge:

since covid banbury tm's no longer sign banbury to myb, and no longer sign MKIII's as there's no diagrams that they take now.
