Hello! Well the main duties of the operative in track inspection will be lookout. That's not too say that's all it involves! Certainly at my former depot there were plenty of opportunities to learn and train on other parts of maintenance. Our operatives would always assist with repairing minor faults found during an inspection, renew bolts, lifting and packing joints etc. At the weekend you may find yourself on rail defects, following behind a tamper/stone lower etc. There's so much work to do! If you would like more specific info drop me a message!
Good luck!
Good luck!
