    1. Employee timetables

    European and American employee timetables contain a lot of useful information for train drivers and are, in fact, like a map, only more descriptive than illustrated. But I’ve actually never seen a timetable used by British train drivers.

    Does anyone have access to one and could they share a photo of such a timetable? Preferably one used by Southeastern :)

    2. Route knowledge

    For how many routes must a train driver at a passenger operator such as Southeastern have route knowledge?

    Do drivers know the entire network operated by Southeastern (served by their depot), or are they permanently assigned to just one or a two lines?

    Are drivers divided into groups in any way, for example: metropolitan, mainline or branch line drivers?
