"Theatrical & Reenactment uses" are valid reasons in the UK, and the reason used for most live private armor, though usually limited to blank rounds due to a limited number of ranges in the UK cleared for larger rounds.... same for artillery & anti-tank guns. (Unless you convert to smooth bore...

Just a quick point, but as far as aware no law to stop private ownership of armour up to and exceeding main battle tanks in either the USA or the UK. And it would be perfectly legal for them to still have main and secondary armament live subject to correct licences as per law. In the UK, you...

I have heard the same, fixed twin track bridge. Though won't be cheap.

Add a bit more for the Norfolk ones - can't be easy to find good footings on what is near enough marshland. Be cheaper to build new swing bridges if they ever get round to it.

Your naturally going to be worried anyway on the day, take away any worry about the D&A test by giving it 2 or 3 days. May help your blood pressure results if nothing else! ;)

Yes, bolts out and swing em, lock em, key into the frame to release the signals.... unless it's V windy!! ;) Box has a small mechanical lever frame, off top of my head don't think any heavy pulls. A visit would answer all.

I did mine at the start of the year - if your off to York you will have a superb time, especially if the rest of your course are a good bunch!

Lot's of tea drinking! Average 2 trains an hour. AB box between Brundall & Reedham Jct. Couple of UWC's to deal with and swinging the gates outside the box - nice little first box!!! :) A trip down to visit the location would be well worth your time before interview, and if you ask nice I'm...

Somerleyton swing bridge had problems and couldn't be closed again after a swing. 2J74 sat at Haddiscoe till it was sorted.

Good luck on interview - hope it all goes well - box schools great fun! :)

Good luck - which box you going for?

If this if for the Situational Judgment Test - they should have sent you some bumph, but if not, read up on NR's 8 none technical skills, find a quite room and do the test. It is very easy, and is mainly testing your way of working in various situations. below pinched from Connect. 2.2 The...

To quote from the FAQ on connect "The SJT result is valid for 12 months so if you have already undertaken the assessment for a previous vacancy the system will recognise this and simply carry your result through." If you are not happy with your performance, could be worth contacting HR to...

Just ring HR every week... eventually you may get some news - but they will be waiting on the Manager to let them know, and it's not always top of the pile. (Then again, I found out via a mate who'd had a chat with the LOM long before HR let me know.....)

Here at Lingwood (Norfolk) whilst the platform is still in use for rail, the buildings are now a B&B.

Yes, my guess also, but would be nice to hear of a happy ending once in a while! :)

O.P. - Did you get an answer?

Did you get any news? Always worth a ring - they can often tell you before they can officially tell you... if that makes sense. :)

Very true, been in and out of the website far too often to check for any update... it's that terrible mixture of excitement and dread. :( Good luck on your's - looks a nice box. :D
