Didn't get it, went to a relative of the management.

Even now with internal jobs it is advised to shadow someone if you are up for an interview.

Was told back in the day that if you didn't shadow then you'll not get offered the job.

Had an interview a few years back for this role and was told it's mostly cleaning with the odd train dispatch and yes includes toilets since it is a Scotrail station the staff do the cleaning, however a train dispatcher now at Centlral who used to do that job at Queen St told me it was 1 week...

Hi guys need some help in finding a linnk from a previous thread in one of these forums. It was a link to Scotrail application form that had your progress/ completion and i'm sure you could download it. Had a look at the internal application form and i'm sure it repeats some of the Q's I've...

Any reason why they went back? If it's similar to gateline shifts (earlIes one week, lates the next) and still within train times then I may be interested but if it's same as TE with early, mid and lates and need to drive in then not interested.

They do but rather hear it from people in or had the role as most management team would says its the best thing sonce sliced bread.

Currently on holiday from work and was hoping to catch someone to ask before I was off but of course didn't see anyone. RPO job(s)have came up on SR internal and was thinking of applying but was wondring if anyone had any info on what the job entails. What are the shift patterns like, with...

OK guys, this is my experience with Scotrail. I'm currently employed with them but in early 2019 I applied for a Ticket Examiner job with them, never had a reply to say whether I was successful or unsuccessful, then out of the blue in March 2020 I had a reply from them asking if I was still...

Wondering if anyone can shed some info on this. Network Rail are looking for Grade 2 trainee signallers in Ayrshire (according to Indeed) but the description is "Grade 2 trainee signallers on a permanent contract based in Scotland The Fouldubs signal box manages a freight line. Although it can...

From my experience Scotrail pay 9.78% of your salary excluding Sundays and O/T and you pay a smaller % however the pay they give to Rail pension is the salary when you start and that'll be the training salary which is about 20k, so about 10k short on your pensionable wage and it won't get...

Had an interview last year with Scotrail that I got time off from work (said I had a dentist appointment), they then cancelled the day before and rearranged it for the following week which I couldn't make due to work , they then asked me when I was available and they arranged the interview...

Cheers dude, used to wear pvc/nitrile gloves then gloves over those, hands were always sweating but never got cold, probably similar to the feet in the bags.

So Scotrail has supplied 2 pair long johns and 2 short sleeve Tees, both of which are 0.45 TOG rated, along with a hat, scarf and gloves. I do have my own hat and gloves alongn with thermal socks but how good are the tees and long johns for winter wear. I have been told that it WILL go below...

Did the SCAAT test 3 years ago after practicing with the Group Bourdon program. I found it easier to print off some of the tests and work through it that way rather than on a PC and it helped so much that I found the actual test was easier than the practice. Accuracy over speed always.

Bunch of new recruits in Atrium Court last week for training (TE and Gateline) and I heard that most of them thought it was a Monday - Friday job. Oh how I had a wee chuckle to myself at that one.

They only cover travel if you are an employee, so if it's for an assessment to get a job, then it's at your expense.

Hourly. Contract is 35 hours, Sundays outside but have to do 2 as part of the 7 on 2 off 7 on 5 off. Believe agency get about the same hourly pay but don't get the book on fee for Sunday or RDW. I've been told that some gateline can earn around £40k per year but that is way too much O/T if you...

Think most Gateline at Central are agency with just a few new Scotrail recruits. I could be wrong but after 6 months if they get kept on they get a Scotrail contract and it's another 6 months before they can apply internally, so they are "stuck" at the gates for 12 months minimum.
