Dear all,

Does anybody know which routes are signed from the Grove Park depot, please?

They have 465s (/0s, /1s and /2s), 466s and 376s - do they sign all metro routes or only some?
They must surely sign:
* Sevenoaks to Charing Cross and Cannon Street
* Dartford to Charing Cross and Cannon Street via Sidcup, Bexleyheath, Woolwich and Greenwich
* Hayes to Charing Cross and Cannon Street
* Grove Park to Bromley North
What about Dartford to Victoria, Bromley South line or stations east of Dartford?

They also have 465/9s and 375s (and possibly a stray 377 from time-to-time) - which Kent destinations do they sign?
I presume no one driver would sign all regional destinations?

Your response would be much appreciated (I have applied for a trainee driving position there and although early days, I've passed the sift! :))

Thank you in advance!

The lowest link (link 3 I believe) signs:

- London - dartford all routes
- London - sevenoakes via SEML
- Chatham mainline as far as Bickley junction
- Dartford - gravesend
- London - Hayes (mid Kent)
- Bromley north shuttle

They don’t sign the Catford Loop (other than Nunhead - Victoria) or Blackfriars.

They have just lost Gillingham following the new Thameslink timetable.

Traction is 465/466/376.

Higher links sign as far as Ashford but less and less mainline work these days.

Thank you!

Surely they must sign the Hayes line and Bromley North lines, too.

Thanks again for your response.
