Thanks in anticipation For the drivers, during the Westbury blockade at least, it's via taxis to/from Westbury. For the TM's I believe there is a small number of Weymouth based crew. Title: Re: GWR Train Crew Weymouth Post by: WSW Frome on January 10, 2025, 12:51:58 As above the early driver shifts (current normal timetable) are covered by Westbury drivers travelling by taxi. Unsure whether this requires 1 or 2 taxis spaced accordingly. A few TM's are based in Weymouth. Someone may know whether the driver from the late arrival returns to Westbury by taxi after the driving duty but I imagine they do.
In the previous timetables with an 05.33? departure, there was a partial practice for the driver to "rest" overnight in the station offices at Weymouth. Presumably the resting time formed part of a full working shift.
