I've applied for a position at London Victoria, listed externally as Grade 9. Sounds pretty exciting, from what I've been reading.
I did the same list of questions... It wasn't at all intuitive. I think I clicked summary then cancel. I definitely had to click cancel at some point, which then took me to a screen showing it was successfully submitted...
The jobs page seems to be down at the moment when you log in which is a tad annoying.

Hi all! I have made a few attempts at becoming a Signaller but to no avail. I have experience working in a variety of position from a council desk job to a industrial process technician. From reading through various forums there have been successful candidates that may have less 'life experience' as myself.
I was wondering if there was the possibility that I could send my CV and covering letter to someone who has had a successful application for advise? OR If they would be kind to give me an example of there own successful application? I would really appreciate any advise.
Very interesting information! Have they gone on the specify where the SubROCs are? Probably a little early in the plan for that.
I assume from your comment that it's decidedly unlikely to come in off the street in Manchester ROC then? I guess these vacancies are snaffled by internal candidates. Makes sense.
I will keep my eyes peeled for signaller vacancies. Nothing in my neck of the woods at the moment.
p.s. in truth, unintentional pun!
hi pal, signaller vacancies seem to come up and get taken down fast before you even see them. Where are u looking for these vacancies pal. take care Rick.
Hi Rick
I just look on the Network Rail website, that's it. Is there anywhere else I could be looking too?
I look every day at least a few times!!
Signalling jobs usually go up (and come down) on wednesdays
Just regarding the post early in this thread about relocating for a role for 6 to 12 months and then applying closer to home via internal vacancies is this a realistic option? Eg I see there are jobs in Scotland and I have relatives near Edinburgh so could move there if necessary for say a year but home and my own family is near Manchester so would hope for a job near there eventually.

Just a warning: I've heard rumblings that this is changing, and some areas are trying to put time limits in place, even up to two years in one location before moving.

Darbs said:I think some of the OM's and LOM's are getting a little annoyed lol!
All of the workstations so far are below our grade so we would have to apply and take a pay cut to work in the ROC
This. One LOM I visited recently - not too far from Sunset Route - is at his wit's end because so many of his new starters leave so quickly (despite assuring him, to his face, that they have no intention of doing so).
I think a year is fair.
All those extra days off on a 12-hour roster though...
Some might consider that a fair trade-off for dropping one grade.
