This is very useful to know. I started my new role on Monday and I am awaiting a training course (I’m hoping it’s York). I’m excited and nervous at the same time!

How’s the course going Somersaults?

Thank you. I’ll do that next week.

Thank you for that.

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ve heard the AB course is more intense than the TCB so I was just wondering. I expect both to be quite intense so either way I’ll be fully committed to both courses.

Can anyone help? I’ve just got a job in Doncaster and haven’t yet had a start date for signal school. Will I be doing a TCB course (buttons) or a full lever course? Doncaster is button only so wasn’t sure what course I’d be on. Thank you.

Thanks for another great piece of advice. I am starting to get slightly excited about my future now. I’m a passionate person so hope my determination can get me through and then I can gradually develop into a good signaller. I suppose it’s like any new trade, learn and develop. Thanks again for...

Thank you for that. That’s great to know. By the sounds of it I’ll definitely get the support I’ll need from my manager and hopefully my tutors. I’m also finding this forum really helpful. My mind has certainly been put at ease over the last few days.

Thanks, that’s a great bit of advice. I am looking forward to a start date but I have this massive fear of failure mentality at the minute and can’t stop worrying about losing the job. I know when I get started I’ll be very passionate about it, so I’ll certainly be trying my best to succeed.

Hi Dave. How are you finding the course? I’ve heard it’s really intense and rather information overload at times. It is a little concerning for me as I’m worried about not passing the exams in the signal school and then not having a job. Is it a hard course would you say?
