Thats a genuine question, I have no idea. One obvious feature (that also applies to HEx, C2C and Island Line) is a relatively limited amount of route and traction knowledge required. Thats probably a bonus - less learning. But less rewarding as a result. On the other hand, it's going to be pretty boring (like the Victoria Line or Waterloo and City). Most of its above ground. But I suspect any driving job gets boring after a while regardless of the vehicle, even flying a plane. That's where having a variety of routes and different traction comes in. By way of comparison; the gWr drivers who drove what's now Crossrail Reading/Hayes terminator services would also have signed all the branches, Bedwyn and Oxford, plus those based at Reading would also have signed Basingstoke and Gatwick. Plus they would have had some variety of calling patterns between Padd and Reading. Anna Noyd-Dryver |
