It won't affect Xmas pay but Jan and Feb also. 2 of the toughest months anyway. Alot of us thought we were quite close to a deal when the last round was called off tbh, I really hope this escalation forces it through now cos its quite a shocking upscaling and I don't think it was expected

Which undermines everything we have been fighting for, you know

Exactly this. I've been losing 3 shifts a month to strike action which is just about OK. In this next round I will lose 5 shifts plus a Sunday. This is going to be ridiculously hard for me as a single parent. I don't think anyone expected it to be ramped up quite so much

I don't know. I am waiting on LOM getting in touch, start date is a week before training starts so I expect any day now I will hear from him Ah sorry to hear that. Took me about 6 applications to get a successful one so keep going! 1617133726 Dm sent

Don't lose heart. I applied for the East Midlands Future Opportunity last year and there were several of us received that email rather than a straight No, and a couple that were put onto the reserve list. It remained as Assessment 2 completed i think it was (which was Interview) from September...

Thanks all

Thanks. I have been told 12 weeks but will wait for the full info to be sent to me for timings etc. I have booked a ticket so we will see what happens. Won't be an issue selling it on if reqd. That final week, do you not have to report onto shift after if your assessment is the MOnday then?

I am due to start at school 26th April, so I simply counted forward 12 weeks which is what Ive been told, and that would make the final week the one ending Fri 23rd July, the date of the event. I think I will buy the ticket anyway and see closer to the time as they're selling fast and it's a...

Just a quick question wrt signalling school if I may. What would I expect to be the finish time on the final, 12th Friday? I'll be in York and have been offered tickets for an event in London for that Friday and just trying to work out if it is viable or not! TIA

Wow, things are motoring along for me now. After receiving Formal Offer on Friday, following a call late Thursday afternoon with offer details, forms have all been done today (even received a reminder today to get it all sent back!), and medical is booked for Thursday. It truly has gone from...

Tyvm. Expected nights so thats a bit of a surprise. Sounds like a fairly quiet box then?

Oh very much so! I've been buzzing all evening. Just need to know a bit about the box now. Grade 2 position but don't know what the shifts are, how busy it is, anything and the search function on here reveals little. York signalling school from 26th April im told, just waiting for paperwork to...

I am top of the world. Don't know if any of you remember, last Autumn I was put on a reserve list on the back of the Futures application. Well I've just had a call offering me a job at Egginton Any info on the box welcomed cos my head is spinning right now with joy

This one is affiliated to NR apparently and I was given the details by UC. Really new to UC also and I know you have to do a certain amount of work search/training etc or they stop your entitlement, so that's at the back of my mind also, though they still have me down as no commitments atm as...

Thanks. I was thinking more along the lines of experiencing from the other side of signalling. The course is a few weeks i think, waiting on a call back, covering basics as a springboard so it's not a lengthy course that I would have to quit if offered a job in the near future. I am always open...

I have been offered the opportunity to do a Track Works Course leading to a City and Guilds Diploma Level 2 Railway Engineering TRack Maintenance via UNiversal Credit (currently self employed running a pub so say no more about how much free time I have right now and why I've had to claim UC...

That would make sense I suppose.

Mine is still showing as Assessment 2 Completed

I don't think he is :D, I got quite a personal reply to my email back thanking him for feedback and confirming that I would like to be notified of future vacancies for fast track. A specific thing that I mentioned was replied to in a very specific way
