Hello : )

Is there anyone that is able to confirm what routes guards have to learn for Cross Country from home depot Manchester Piccadilly?

Any help would be much appreciated. I tried searching the forums already but I had no luck!

Cheers

Possibly Aston-Stechford as well? I know XC occasionally go that way around but I don't know if it's only Birmingham who sign it....

As to the work, last time I spoke to them it was a lot of double Birmingham's with the odd trip down to Reading to break up the monotony. Nice bunch of people though.

Thanks for the info peeps. A double Birmingham or occasional reading trip doesn't seem too bad. I wouldn't mind it!
