Doesn’t anybody on this thread happen to be having an induction in Ramsgate SE Depot next week Monday?

I'm not a Victoria driver, but there is no pattern as such. Sundays inside, 4 day week. Work more weekends than not.
Ok thanks, would you say it's a 4 week rota or more?
No, its not a 4 week rota... without looking i can't tell you exactly how many lines it is. There are two links at Victoria. New drivers go into link 2 and link 1 is filled from link 2 on seniority as link 1 drivers leave.
Say the number of lines in link 2 is about 40 (I'm sure someone will be along soon to correct this), everyone drops down a line each week. Rest day patterns change on each line but generally you will do one week early, one week late. When there is a timetable change the whole rest day pattern may, or may not, change.
SE have sundays inside the week so the repeating 3 week rest day pattern common on other TOCs who have sundays outside is not possible.

Ok that's interesting thanks for all the information much appreciated.
