Just a bit of an update.
I drove my first diesel today in the form of a class 159 down from Salisbury to Exeter St David's. It is probably the only time I will ever drive down here considering that Fratton do not sign this route. Nevertheless it was fun and I did enjoy it and its a shame that I won't sign the units for a good few years.
Still it was good to drive down into deepest Devon and got experience with the driving of a 159 as they are somewhat different to the Desiro's that I am used to so far.
Tomorrow sees me up at Clapham Yard to drive a class 455 for the next few days. We will be an empty train tomorrow and then back to passenger services for the rest of the week!
Please note this site is to enable people aspiring to be drivers and to give them an idea of what the training is involved. It is not endorsed by South West Trains and all views are my own and not the companies...
