You can be required to cover shed turns moving units at Nottingham station and Eastcroft depot but these are generally managed by depot drivers.
Traction is 153/156/158 with limited HST by application to cover summer trains to Skegness and other ad hoc work.
Several non progressive links, obviously the route knowledge takes a while to amass.
Work is 99% guard operated passenger and ECS with other train crew traveling and just one or two trains a day DOO (NP) for short distances.
Plenty of variety and a pretty good social crowd, I'd recommend it. ASLEF membership is very widespread though there have been recent internal disputes.
Sunday's currently committed for new starters and opt ins moving to in the week at some point in the next year or two.
