I have recently completed my IST training and I have not found it easy retaining the information or trying to memorise things. I recommend breaking things down on to flash cards and with passing signals at danger reasons breaking them down in to groups. So defective etc etc. Keep going with it, trust the process and put the work in and it will pay off. I remember at week 4 how on earth am I going to remember all of this but it is in there. Enjoy the experience too.

Hello all,
I’m aware the training salary’s have changed a lot for new starts. But for internally i have read from the ops deal email sent out that the ‘3 month rule’ as per the red book still applies.
Does this then mean (for example) a G2 who has been successful for G8 role can claim the grade 3 months after it was advertised to grade 8.
Or do they claim the new training salary which is grade 4 after IST? Or am I off the mark completely….

If you’re graded staff already you should be able to.
Apparently this doesn’t apply tk banded staff…

Can anyone post a typical 8 hour rotation please. I understand they vary for m location to location but just to give me an idea cheers
Alright mate, yep interview date is next week.
Hi @SalzH a few questions if I may:
Did you get through with the Grade 9 Role?
Was it for a ROC?
Do they go through all 8 of the NTS at interview stage?
Thanks in advance

Just received an email stating recruitment for the grade 6 WMSC has been paused whilst the business reviews its recruitment requirements. Interview has now been cancelled. Anybody else had the same?

Some more enlightened boxes don’t have a dress code at all, though uniform is still available if you wish it.
Though I’m pretty certain Cardiff ROC isn’t among the enlightened in this regard.

As mentioned, but also known as the 'Saltley Bomb Shelter'. Ironic, as it's mainly a glass and metal construction.
I got the same email except mine said they would reschedule my interview. They just didn’t know how long I would be waiting.

13th October then every four weeks. Cut off for pay is the Saturday before, so anything earned/worked between 8th and 13th falls in to following months pay
Congratulations, how were you told? Phone or email?
Phone call from HR, followed by an email confirming my acceptance of their offer shortly after.
Not heard a peep myself yet. Congrats again and enjoy your weekend celebrations.
This is Awesome News Mate!!! Congratulations You must be over the moon!
(Now to bombard you with questions lol)
How did you find the interview?
Any helpful tips to share?

Dark blue polos are now provided, shorts are permitted as desired.
The biggest thing I can say is don’t try to pretend you know more than you do. I’ve got a professional driving background so obviously had a lot of relevant things to say, but I was honest about having no knowledge of the railway and didn’t attempt to hide that fact.
Be yourself, try as much as possible to stay calm!
