Hey, Folks.
You all have probably seen this type of question asked a lot, but I'm looking for answers based on my particular situation. I'd appreciate any help at all here.
I've been offered a Grade 2 Signaller Trainee Post in Scotland. I have sent all necessary documents away and have passed my medical. I start my training (the 10/12 week course) in January at the Perth Railway Station.
I am currently a librarian and it is a great job, but there aren't many opportunities to 'climb the ladder'. Are there many opportunities to do this in Network Rail? Also, how difficult is the job itself? The system does look rather complicated and I am aware that the training can be pretty tough.
Any other insights to the role are also welcome (shifts, day-to-day, etc), if any of you have the time.
Many thanks,
Steven.
