TBASC has two 42 line rosters (East Link and West Link) both are 12hrs rosters and within the lines of the rosters are GPR turns, which everyone covers on rotation. Just in case you don't understand this, it means you'll be a resident, same as everyone as the flexi is built in to the roster. I...

It absolutely is usually the last resort. I say usually because that depends on the temperament/experience/knowledge/capability etc of the signaller. 1677845156 I agree I have no idea about the requirements for a signaller on a heritage line. This isn't meant to offend, but no, I wouldn't...

This is a valid reason as to why you pass a signal at danger, but obviously having a conflicting route set makes that outrageous. The same with the train in section. Nigh on anyone can run trains on a simple railway in normal operation. It's when things are out of course that you are truly...

Post what vacancies you can see and will see if we can help.

Depends if you are internal or external..

Driving's not the only way to get to work, no one where I work drives unless it's a Sunday, even then a lot of us have a train or bus service. Unfortunately that may not be the case for you. And they'd suggest how you spend your money isn't really their problem, you know the salary walking in...

For one, they're still looking at 75 mins travel time under displacement, even though their rule is 60 mins (Don't get me started). There's leeway in place for new fatigue index where if you're travel time is more than an hour, up to 75 mins they have to risk assess and discuss additional...

No issue driving there, I'd imagine they referred to people driving to and from home each day.

I'm definitely less fatigued on 12s, the near 21 days in a row on 8hrs made my whole life feel like groundhog Day, and like others have said, if you then want to do overtime, you end up on an 8hr pattern doing 12s, or using your only time off in 3 weeks to work more. Loved the box I was at, but...

Indeed.

Very good advice.

High grade is good because you'll apply a lot of rules on a regular basis, reinforcing them. It's also a challenge remembering rules and trying to learn the area at the same time, but you'll have people with you whilst you're learning so not bad. If you start off in a low grade, then move to an...

Pretty sure you should be getting the FP as soon as you pass out in the second box, at that point you are flexible. The problem is that as soon as you've passed out one box, if they start using you to cover a vacancy in that location, you may not get the chance to learn anywhere for a year...

You would think that, but until now the railway has disagreed. The higher ups seem to have only just remembered we dont switch off the railway after 7PM.

Eastern locations are going 24 hr coverage, needs to make the roster compliant so there are new positions being created.

I'd be embarrassed to show my face, I'll leave it at that.

There's a push to rebalance the status quo, but that certainly doesn't put white male heterosexuals at a disadvantage as they are still in the majority when it comes to applications. At signalling school with over 80 trainees in the building, not including the the various other courses, you...

Really? Really? Nearly everyone I see on the railway is a white heterosexual man, including myself. Really?

The only classes that matter are 1-9, anything else is guff.

Do you have something better to do?
