Hi,
Same questions here if anyone can help.
I'd be interested in what GWR at Reading do as well?
I know gwr are losing work to cross rail from December, just not sure what will be left for paddington and reading drivers?
Thanks

not sign Bourne end, Henley, Redhill or Gatwick.

Traction is 165/6, 387, 800 & 769s from next year.
800s currently only Link 1, more than likely Link 2 aswell from December.
Links 1 and 2 sign Reading-Gatwick, takes on average 5-6 years to get to Link 2.
Reading is by far the largest depot in the East region, a nice mix of work and overtime for those that want it.
Earlies, lates and about 4 weeks of nights per year. Permanent swaps available.
TfL Rail are only taking 2 stopping services an hour from GWR, Reading depot will be running new fast services Padd-Reading-Newbury, plus other service enhancements mean plenty of work available.
