In the Wessex area (SWR) free travel is granted as a non contractual right for non BR protected staff. I think GWR offer a number of free trips per year for non BR protected staff. 1677871748 Basing ASC and Eastleigh are both 12hr Sundays (Eastleigh also has an 8-4 meal turn on a Sunday).

The layout was resignalled in 1981, the same time as the curve was put in. The PSR kicks in at Laverstock North, not on the approach to SY31. "A single braking movement"? What does that mean?

No.

Went across to the Island today. Impressions are mixed tbh. The trains were late and this enforced a change of CAT so a negative start to begin with. Lots and lots of anoraks and cranks and a few bemused islanders looking on. It seemed to me that there were issues with the doors and that the...

If people think that the FGW driver is in error for not carrying out protection, well imagine if he or she had done so.

If you say so. I am interpreting this as "I am fishing for information as I have read something on the internet".

Are they for Par, Lostwithiel and Truro? Then yes. I have worked Par and Truro - many moons ago mind.

At the moment the answers are yes and yes. Roskear to PZ will also remain for the time being.

Truro, Par and Lostwithiel are slated for closure in the Autumn of 2023. A contract has been signed with Westinghouse for resignalling, control will move to Exeter PSB initially.

In regards to SWR the pass covers both staff and leisure travel.

The relief sign Basingstoke (all panels), Brockenhurst, the Marchwood Branch and Yeovil Pen Mill. Salisbury fringes with Eastleigh and Basingstoke WOE/Main panel as well as Westbury.

Oh yeah..another reason I would be very chary of advertising how much I earned on a forum like this is if a **** stirring paper decided to use the gen if there was a wholly theoretical chance of industrial action..

I applied for a position at Gloucester years ago. Sadly I came 2nd in the applicant list - but the atmosphere in the box was lovely when I went for a visit. 1613312620 There are lots of ex NATS types applying for jobs as signallers.

Slightly surprised to see some of the wage figures being bandied about. I work a Grade 7 box and come nowhere near earning £80k p.a.- and I do a decent wedge of o/t. :s

In relation to the 775M lengthening project. The work should be complete Springtime next year.

Seeing a lot of these questions. Ask your LOM for a copy of the roster. As an aside have NR abandoned centralised training for the time being? I noted people off to signalling school at Derby which I had thought had long shut...

' unttssss paaaaatttthhhhh. 100 cows to cross. 5 minutes.

Reposted for effect: And this (after 5 seconds of googling) is quite useful: https://www.planitplus.net/JobProfiles/View/848/126

The workstations you will cover will be the same area the PSB covers when the box moves across the ROC. So if you got a job at Feltham, when the box moves across to the ROC, you will eventually cover all the workstations that cover the former area plus any bits the powers that be decide to add.

3 vacancies at the TVSCC are on the internal list as is Westbury. So waiting for that to exhaust itself first I would imagine. Westbury used to be the proverbial dead men's shoes.
