Hey guys,
Was just wondering. Is the FLHH depot at Doncaster in same place as the container depot?
I was passing today and thought I'd check it out. Google only gives the container depot at Donnie.
Not long to go now!
Yes the SOP at Doncaster is at Railport, one of the blue containers as you go in. You will be in the Doncaster link, but the majority of the time you will book on and off at Ferrybridge, as it is not depot in its own right.

Ahh, much like the Thames Trains driver training programme 15 years ago?...
This is a major concern of myself and colleagues,one of the contributory factors of the Ladbrooke Grove disaster was the poor training of the driver (RIP), Thames Trains had cut driver training down to bare bones, just as HH has now.
The classroom based training is 8-9 weeks, compared say to Northern, where they in classroom for 16 weeks!
I really hope this doesn't cause an increase in incidents, but you lads will be really up against it, bit of a tip- do plenty of reading up in the evenings, and ask plenty of questions. Good luck.
