    Signalling Roster (general purpose spare)

    Thanks. But I'm not sure this answers the question, I don't think I was clear. The role is that of a resident. But built into there roster is GPR Spare days. So is this where the 5 week cycle comes in instead of 4. So you would do your normal 4 week roster, but then week 5 would see your shift...

    Signalling Roster (general purpose spare)

    Hoping there is some one out there who works this type of roster. One of the roles I am applying for is 8 hours, but 12 hours at weekends. There doesn't seem to be any meal relief or relief. In stead meal relief is built into the roster and so is general purpose Spare. I was wondering how this...

    Wrong Direction Moves

    Thats working in the wrong direction. A whole separate rule with bell codes. Thats why I am puzzled. As why have a separate rule specific for failed train - where one of the reasons to carry out TW7 is obstruction, failure, accident or any other incident. Thats what made me question if you...

    Wrong Direction Moves

    Some clarification. I know the 10 reasons. But in AB and even TCB land can you authorise a WDM across two or more areas or are the 10 reasons listed in TW7 only in your area of control - or if in the block back to your area of control? I know there are rules in both TS2 and TS3 for working in...

    NR new added question on application.

    Or like ComUtor says. Explain what you think the job description is. I would never have thought of your two options. I see it as asking you what you think the job involves not what it means for your life or your career. But it would do no harm, and in thinking about it not a bad idea to include...

    Signaller 'fixed rate salary'

    Its worth noting if you are successful then you do have a training wage, which is normally the grade lower, so in this case £22K (I think) this is while you are training at Sig School for 8 weeks and then however long it takes you to pass out in the box. We finished back in November and there...

    Signalling Interview Questions

    not sure. Someone in my box had one recently and while it was still non tech - they were associated with the job. So rather than "Talk about a time when you have had to communicate a message" It was more like "you have had a spad and on the phone to a CoSS - how would you deal with the...

    NR track op application (unsuccessful)

    The SJT is situation judgement test. Your colleague turns up drunk do you A) tell manager B) tell them to go home and cover for them C) Try to sober them up D)ignore it Your results normally last for a year. If you did something like this this - then there is nothing you can do.

    NR track op application (unsuccessful)

    I know when I applied for signalling. I couldn't get past the first hurdle. Then i did. You just have to keep trying and putting in for roles. Even now on the internal process. I have put in for the same grade and been turned down at the first step, but on several higher grade jobs I've got...

    NR track op application (unsuccessful)

    Did you have to do a SJT test? Its prop the fact that that your scores are not as high as others to go through to the next round. I know some NR jobs do a SJT test (top 8 go through to the next round) its an easy way for HR to whittle down the competition. You're obv doing something correct as 3...

    Internal Signalling post

    I thought it came in 1st December according to the RMT - and it mentioned it on Connect that it was changing in December. I will have another look tomorrow to make sure - but maybe it only applies for people who don't have Assessments or SJT scores as you suggest (If I've understood your reply)...

    Internal Signalling post

    While we're on about changes. Does anyone understand the new procedure for internal applications - with giving a role experience to support the CV and getting rid of the SJT and Assessments (For internals). Does this mean its harder for non signallers/ newly qualified sigs internally to apply...

    NRE does not show the Off Peak fare from Macclesfield to Manchester

    Nice to see its not just my local bit of the line. At first I thought it might be them preparing for the January hike rise by getting rid of off peak tickets. I know in some areas and some journeys like Macclesfield to Edale the only ticket you can get is "Anytime Return"
