Yeovil Junction Driver Routes

[TD1]

What routes do Yeovil Junction Drivers sign and is there a link system at this depot? If so, which links sign which routes? I'm assuming traction is all 158/159? TIA.

And what is swr like to work for? Is it better than gwr or gwr the big daddy? I’m guessing Yeovil will still have guards for a while ?

 

[MiNi]

Yeovil still needs more guards to cover all the turns. At the last count they still needed 13 more.

Yeovil sign:

Waterloo to Exeter St David's via Salisbury
Salisbury to Bristol TM
Yeovil to Weymouth via Maiden Newton
Yeovil to Salisbury via Frome

Traction is indeed just 158/159

Do SWR go to Weymouth that way? Didn’t know that. Learn something new every day.

Yep, one through service from/to Waterloo on Saturday's only, but not at the moment due to the Covid timetable

Thanks saintsfan, don’t suppose you know if there’s a link structure for the routes or do all drivers sign all of those routes?

All drivers sign those routes, pretty sure it's just 1 link at the moment
