Great review and personal thoughts! I've been in the grade less than a year and Cleanshirt's review is an almost mirror image of my experiences throughout recruitment and training. Although my fun is continuing, I'm required to write up reflective task journals for my apprenticeship which is...

I operate mine naked, so no need for a cloth ;-)

Couldn't agree more! First day flying solo is sooo nerve racking, but within a few days all that IST serves you well, the confidence multiplies, the smile grows and reality dawns! You've made the grade! Now stay calm, take 5 when you need to and don't star in a red video!

Amen to that brother!

Trains are quite distracting! They take my concentration away from cooking.

Signal box cuisine. Bacon n egg toasted sarnie for lunch. Oven baked potato with salad for dinner. One of the guys on my line cooks a weekly roast dinner. How creative are you with signal box scran?

More's the pity, the pubs in York are awesome! We had a great IST group and relaxed just enough when we needed to. Are you at The Marriott? We were, it's a nice walk to school and back.

I'm in week 3 at York. It's an amazing learning facility with passionate WDS. I look forward to meeting each of you when you start on the 2 Dec and maybe also on the Thurs/Fri before when you come over for your Babcock induction. Don't worry about anything, just look forward to your exciting...

Thank you

Looks like they could be the ones, thank you. Are they on the NR website?

Network rail core values? Apparently there's 4. Two of them, I think, are Equality Customer driven

Thank you, I hope your course is going well. How do you travel from the hotel to school?

Thank you for the heads up on bike storage, do you know if there's a shelter? I'm driving to the hotel on the Sunday night, it cuts my journey time in half at each end of the week. Is there a bus route along the road where the Marriott Hotel is to the station?

York Marriott Hotel to Signaller school I've had a look on Google maps, 30 min walk. I'm driving to the hotel and was thinking about taking my bike. How have you guys travelled to York school before?

Have you or anyone an idea of a typical roster for an 8hr single manned with no night shifts. First train around 6am last one at 10pm?

14 days in a row with only 1 day off, that takes some stamina!

Thank you!
