Okey-doke, thank you @nom de guerre.
On an OCS (One Control Switch) panel, there’s a switch for each route from each signal, and in normal working that’s all you need to operate - it sets all the points in the route by itself, although there are individual switches to control them manually if necessary.Hi all. A question if I may.
What is the difference between an OCS panel and an IFS panel? Are they not in essence one and the same?
I've got my interview for the 19th November. I had no idea things would progress this fast! Just under two weeks from application to offer of interview.Hi Leafage. Best advice would be to get your assessments done ASAP as your main priority. You say time is short but the recruitment process with NR can be quite drawn out so you may have longer to revise than expected.
Have a good look through NR's website, particularly focusing on the Safety Vision. The other important step would be to google the 8 non-technical skills that NR look to explore at interview. Those things will set you on the right path.
Third thing to do is make time to read ALL the way through this forum (yes - 208 pages!). It's gold dust and if this is seriously a career you wish to pursue then think of it as a wise investment of time.
Good luck with your application. Fingers crossed for you.
I think they need 2 signallers mate...that's usually why jobs are advertisedDoes anyone know why there are two positions advertised for Monks Sidings?
I have been invited to interview for the Haslemere Relief vacancy. Can anyone recommend good resources to prepare for the interview?
Thanks in advance
I'm down for the 2nd December course @J-P!
It will be Sudbury on the North Staffs route between Derby & Crewe.Seems to have been loads of signalling jobs gone onto the website in the past 24hrs or so... "Multiple vacancies" at Birmingham, in the North West & London. Quite a few grade 2 but I am pretty sure the Birmingham ones are grade 6. All out of my area, sadly!
There is also a vacancy, 2 in fact, for Sudbury SB, Derby... Can anyone confirm if this is the Sudbury on the Derby to Crewe line? I live in Nottingham and was hoping it might be my side of Derby but if it's out near Uttoxeter then it's a bit too far for me.
My dad has but so far no update but I believe the vacancy closed internal today but closed quite early externally
Hi, have been going over this thread for a while now and have a few applications in with NR to be a signaller. Is anyone else having trouble logging into the NR job site? I keep getting "An error has occurred please contact system administrator" - Ive tried deleting all cookies etc and using a different browser, even using my phone as well as PC but no luck?!?
Can anyone recommend any books to help with the application/assessment process? Ive seen the How 2 book but understand this may be a bit out of date?

So had my interview for Lancing SB today. Felt like I got flustered on some questions, despite all the preparation.
Wondered if those of you in the industry or starting signalling school left your interview confident? Cos I'm bricking it!

The grade relates to the job your doing - the way to move up is to apply for jobs at a higher grade. Signalling school should give you the tools to get a job at any grade.
Hi. Can anyone tell me how signallers move up grades please? Is it on the job with experience or do you have to complete courses up to next level?
once your in, you have access to the internal jobs section. These jobs, majority are not advertised externally. See one you like and you apply!!
same process, minus the tests.... interview can be rules based but the ones I’ve done are just NTS based.
