hi, searched the forum with not much luck. Could anyone let me know roughly how the shifts work at Northern. not the exact timings. e.g. at mo I work this shift,

D,D,D,E,E,E rd, rd, L,L,L,L,L,M, rd, rd L,L,M,M,M,M, rd,rd, i.e. 6 on 2 off
hope it makes sense,
many thanks in advance.

Will vary depot by depot, link by link, job by job.

At our place, if you're on a 4 day week then you have this 3 week cycle:
Week 1 RD Mon/Tues
Week 2 RD Wed/Thurs
Week 3 RD Fri/Sat

5 Day week is a rotating Rest Day (order is dependant on link position) with a week of Rest Days every 6 to 8 weeks.

Pattern of earlies to lates to nights varies depending on link position and often changes with the link change at the start of each timetable period.

That's for drivers and guards. Other grades have a different pattern completely - no other grades that I have rostered have the week of Rest Days.

Depot staff may do, I however couldn't tell you

hi 3Ts thanks for the info, just trying to find out if it's 4,5 or 6 working shifts on the bounce (as 1 week would go into the next, i.e. t,f,s,s,m,t,rd,rd etc.)
