Lol, if only... She's on a restricted diet due to allergies... She's more annoyed at the constant walking - I think she's part cat, likes it more when we're out the house most of the day...
I did just this. Applied for both resident and relief in the same box. Got interviewed for both and now have been offered the relief post.
I've applied 3 times for the same box while other applications have been open. It's finally paid off as I've been offered a job. Go for it!

Bumping this question in case anyone can answer?
I was wondering if anyone could tell me a bit more about Knottingley and the shift rosters too? Thank you!!
Yeah my offer is on a 12 month FTC and my offer states I have to apply for a permanent role during this time ☺️
How does that work then, being offered Knottingley? Is this where you will be training or where you have been asked to apply to?
They said that after the 12 weeks signalling school I will be based at knottingley getting the box training, and be posted there until I get a permanent position elsewhere ☺️
Ah OK I see, thanks. Congratulations as well!!
Thankyou for your reply and support. I have had a long hard look at myself in the mirror and I promise not to be so lazy in the future and waste peoples time with stupid questions.
Don't be - remember that the only stupid question is the one not asked. It does help to do a quick search first, but don't be put off to use this amazing resource and font of knowledge!
Thanks. I have now used the search facility and looked through this thread. I do have another question. Will the wage plus 24% annual base salary be the actual take home pay or do FP roles still accrue shift allowances/overtime?
Don't worry. I had no hope.
It would also accrue shift allowances/overtime payment, where necessary. The FP isn't paid for Sunday or Rest Day Worked turns. Basically the position will mean travel up to 30 miles from the base location of the job, covering numerous signal boxes.
If you apply and the base box is less than 60 minutes commute from your home, but the other boxes further away would put you over a 60 minute commute. Would that be taken into account by HR / LOM or not?
I'm not certain. I live 15 miles from my base location. The furthest box I cover is 29 miles from the base location, but obviously further from home. So whilst I'm inside the required mileage/travel time from the base location, it can be about an hour and forty minutes travel, on a good day, to reach my furthest box from home.
Only problem is I can’t apply for anything more than an hour from my home. Puts me at a bit of a disadvantage
