It's nice we've been given the £6 tickets on GWR, but I am envious of the old BR guys who have all the leisure travel as part of their terms!

Hello Mate. Westwood is an interesting experience to say the least! You'll meet people of all different ages and from a across the country! I personally loved the experience. At Westwood you'll find a gym, swimming pool, steam room, sauna and bar! You really are quite well looked after. In...

This is a very helpful thread for people who are considering the scheme or about to join the scheme. I am about to finish my first year of the apprenticeship. I am of the telecoms discipline. If anyone has any questions that haven't already been answered, let me know

I'm currently on the NWR apprenticeship. Lots of different people of different ages. Definitely something I'd recommend applying for if it sounds like it'd be for you.

Leaving my job this week in retail management to join the network rail apprenticeship scheme. Big drop in pay initially, but hopefully it's worth it in the long run.

Hello! I have been invited to an assessment centre in January for the network rail engineering apprenticeship! I have had a look for information on these forums and others, but information seems to be a little difficult to find. I was wondering if I could speak to some people who have...

I am intrigued as to what a roughly average day is like as a signaller. What's your first job when you arrive for your shift? What are your colleagues like? Are there any differences between the nature of your work when you work nights/days? Tom Quinine, your post gives me hope they if you...

Okay, thanks for all your input guys. It seems the recruitment process for NR has no clear structure and is sometimes a little discombobulated. Yes, I too would love a new career, working on the railways seems dead exciting

I have an application that has been sitting at 'Application under consideration for assessment 2' for over two weeks. From what I've been reading, doesn't it generally change to pending within the week or so if shortlisted for interview? It's no dramas, I'll keep chipping away and I'm sure I'll...
