I didn't say they were the rules! But that's what seems to happen. I suspect that if your base was to be Basingstoke ROC it may be different. I've sent you a PM

Didn't you get contract stuff when they sent you conditional acceptance? That's all you get I think. As I understand it they expect everyone to stay in a hotel anyway. I know someone who lived 25 minutes from York and he had a hotel.

What are the dress requirements at sig school?

It would help someone give you relavant advice if you gave an indication of the position you are going for.

It's an extreme 'tube line in West London' that goes out to Reading all stations every few minutes. Yes it's easier to compartmentalise it like that on paper, but provides no redundancy for the GWML which would effectively be 2 track only from Reading to Paddington. That has huge implications...

You follow people's advice about reevaluating what you have submitted and make it better. This is still about behaviours though - if a problem occurs in a safety critical environment (any - not just signalling) the last thing you want anyone to do is be defensive to protect themselves rather...

I hope that are able to get some feedback. However I would be careful to speculate that HR are not applying the same criteria to everyone. Modern HR in large companies is all about being fair, which is precisely why a candidate can be short listed for one opportunity, and miss out on another...

Can you tell me what a TDAC is please?

The login part of the site is the old one - that hasn't changed. It seems to work, but sometimes you have to clear your browser cache to make it work!

I obviously missed that then. Even at the interview the only one wearing a tie was the overdressed me! Cant imagine slippers in a ROC! Anyway, what is the point in wearing a tie? Personally even in a customer facing role I don't want to see someone wearing a tie. I want them to listen and be...

Not sure that there is a uniform - didn't appear to be at TVSC anyway. Smart casual is probably the best bet.

Is a rail ticket given an 'anytime' one? i.e can you travel early Monday morning rather than late Sunday when the trains are slower?
