Not entirely sure that's accurate re Plymouth as I know an on board host who has just been offered trainee driver for the mainline at PLymouth , but as you say many new starters are going to be depot manouverers before getting chance to go mainline after a period of time.Don't know if this has been mentioned to you yet but any new starters for the likes of Bristol and Plymouth are all going to be depot drivers. No more trainee mainline drivers at those depots. Unsure of the policy elsewhere
