Hi Sorry I cant answer the questions, but I have been to the assessment so might be able to comment on that should you get there. Where did you find the date of closure? I have tried to find such information. Is there a master document online?

One final question. Is it acceptable to make notes when doing the fault finding question? or are you expected to remember the expected changes to all 4 shutters in you head as you work through the buttons?

Ordinarily I would wear a suit. Though in this instance it might be best to just go for comfort (but still smart of course), given the length of time the assessment could last. If all that candidates are judged on is performance, I think anything that could potentially improve performance should...

Thanks everybody Good point about the comfort. I think that it will be more important to be relaxed as you say, I might consider smart casual. If the assessment centres run fairly often, as seems to be the case, I am surprised there are not more theads on here with people asking questions...

Hello I am soon to be attending the assessment in London. Please could somebody confirm it is pen and paper or computer based. I am thinking of doing some practices on the map search and want to make it as realistic as possible. I intend to be fully suited and booted, unless somebody...

Thanks Bluejuice. As it happened I got a call today to ask if I was free to attend an assessment day in London in a couple of weeks which is great news. I said yes, and then the follow up email comes through with the details, interestingly the email wants me to phone and confirm attendance. I...

Evening all Signaller job for NetworkRail. I logged into their website and it says invite to Assessment Pending. Does anybody know how long in the future the assessment is likely to be? I am thinking about booking a few days away in the country and might not have access to my computer to...

I got though the CV filter stage and did the test :) Would you be able elaborate on what a relief post involves? Thanks

Thanks Where exactly is that box based? The location for the job is stated as "Ely", seems a bit strange that they dont just say Cambridge if thats where it actually is. Also do you know if that PSB will be in operation long term?

Hi all Is anybody able to confirm the location of this box?

Ok that would be good as I live to the north west of Ely :) Is anybody able to confirm location?

Thanks Its the box in Ely (Cambs), cannot find any details of it, in fact one site says it has been taken out of service. Can anbody confirm the current situation? Why do my posts need approval from a mod?

Thanks for the replies. Yes its in Ely, Cambridgeshire. I am struggling to find much information online. I have been on the Historical UK Railway website but it just refers to the boxes in the area that have closed. There isnt any details about the current facilities. Does anybody have any...

Evening all I have just seen a grade 3 job advertised. Does anybody know how busy grade 3 boxes are on average (I appreciate it varies)? Also the spec states "The salary for this role is circa £29,034 per annum, dependent on experience". Any idea how much less somebody with no rail...

Thats great I presume I should say a few lines about my interests out side of work?

Morning all I have found a guard job local to me which I am going to apply for. I need to write a personal statement to clearly demonstrate 9 skills/attributes the the person they are looking for. Would the best way to go about this be to clearly write 9 paragraphs with a brief...

Sorry for asking a newbie question, but what are dateline positions? Sounds like there a lot of positions that will be great to get a foot in the door, so happy that I can apply for these given the £20k+ ranges. Having read a few threads about newly advertised trainee driver jobs, it appears...

Ok, thanks for all the info. I will give this one a miss and wait for something a bit closer. I shall give NW a call and ask about any potential posts further north. Unless anybody happens to know the locations of the signal boxes within 50 miles from Peterborough?

Ouch, just seen that the commute (assuming its Kings Cross) would cost me about £500pcm! Do Network Rail workers get a discount?

Thanks for the reply. I might just do that, but I live about 40mins north of London on the train. Do you think this role is likely to be in the Kings Cross box? I have read comments that it isnt a place many existing signallers want to take. Though it would suit for me as thats where my train...
