    Applying for one role in order to apply for a different role?

    There's no reason why you can't BUT look at the Signaller recruitment process first. Its long and drawn out so be sure you'll enjoy the other role if you're successful. Track maintenance needs committed staff.

    Operative Roster

    Does anybody know what the typical roster is for an 'Off Track Operative' with Network Rail? I think it's a 13 week base roster

    Signaller assessment

    There are two parts on the lift counting. The recruitment facilitator will talk you through everything. You get practice runs before the realtime test commences. Don't be afraid to ask for a replay on the tones. Listen carefully to what to do on the second part. You'll be ok on first bit. The...

    Signaller assessment

    Did they tell you your score? Sometimes they give you a result if you ask on 0161 261 7594. It might help if you find out because it is clearly stressing you. As JohnFM says tho "IT'S DONE" There are others on here at least that could tell you their score maybe and you'll have an idea where you...

    Pts card and sponsorship

    You can pay BUT you cannot work unless you have a sponsor. Its a risk but most companies will want PTS as standard. Also research track induction and Network Rail requirements of any potential contractor before they can go on track. There's more than just PTS to consider. If you have an...

    References.

    I guess it depends if the reference is professional or personal. They would surely clarify your previous post, length of service and perhaps how you left, i.e.resigned etc. It will be to confirm what you put on your application and purely to be diligent under their own recruiting policy.

    Where was the position based?

    Pts card and sponsorship

    They kinda go hand-in-hand with one another. Depends where you live. Search contracting companies and send e-mails. Some will take without experience but you might have to fund your own PTS. Good luck

    Pre employment checks

    What did your formal offer include? What info did you have to provide? I've had an offer via phone today and said they would e-mail an offer pack, I just wondered what's in the pack and what you had to do besides medical etc.

    Northern conductors (manchester picc)

    Good luck. Still doesn't mean that we'll get selected for assessment days tho. It'll depend on our scores and percentile I guess. Has anybody had a rejection e-mail about these vacancies if your application has been under consideration?

    Northern conductors (manchester picc)

    I've had an e-mail on Manchester roles today which said "Congratulations, you have met the standard we are looking for" I have not yet had an assessment day or interview and read the previous thread that Northern deliberately put candidates on hold to prevent them from applying again and have...

    Signaller assessment

    Use the booklet sent to you. On the fault finding particularly, don't get too caught up on each question. It's not about necessarily answering all the questions but getting right the amount you do answer. I think you need to get around 20-22 out of the fault finding correct so make sure you're...

    Northern conductors (manchester picc)

    Hi, The numeracy test is quite challenging. I passed but didn't finish the questions in September. I didn't get an e-mail confirming I'd passed the verbal reasoning but I had. It now goes to sift and I think they take the highest scores and put forward for next stage. Good luck
