I don't know what all the thing's you pay out would be just put the salary into a website called listentotaxman and it tell's you the take home.
In my current job my basic is a bit less than the grade one on this scale but my take home after tax, ni and 1% pension is a bit more than the grade 2 on here,hope this help's. I have a couple of application's in and know I would get one grade less while training but does that include signalling school or not does anyone know.
I pay my pension basic, plus a additional sum into BRASS the additional contribution section which is invested for you and then paid out when you retire as a lump sum on top of your standard pension lump sum and monthly pension, it also helps reduce your tax burden.
One grade less than normal grade from day one of employment.
Hi,
Really helpful information on here ;
Out of curiosity, what is the roster like at ASC THREE BRIDGE .
Thank u
I'd love to get in on that as well! can you shoot me a pm too?I’ll pm you
that's exactly what I'm looking for. the rest of the offer is pretty straightforward.RPS will provide a transfer of benefits statement so you can see if it is beneficial to move you old section pension to the NWR Section.
the TBF is fantastic, I will be signing up as soon as! I find it interesting that you say "little know by employees" because it was exactly the same at the TOC I worked for - I was a good 5 or 6 years on the job before I'd heard of it!Join the transport benevolent fund also, it seems to be little known by employees but for £1 a week the potential benefits are huge!
Yeah i cant work out why this is, even when I tell colleagues about it often they are uninterested!the TBF is fantastic, I will be signing up as soon as!

Quickfire questions.
Are the interviews carried out at the box you applied for or Manchester?
What are remaining signalling school courses this year, if any?
Thanks

Courses get booked up by LOMS quite quickly, I know there is a course starting in November and one starting 4th December - unsure of locations but I'm assuming this would be booked...and if you haven't had interview yet, you'll definitely be on courses next year!
Interviews are held at LOMS location - so wherever their office is based.
I would have thought after months, most people will just presume they’ve been unsuccessful.NR recruitment are a funny old thing, I wouldn't read too much into wait times, I've waited months too find out good and bad news. Conversely I've had both good and bad news a day or two later as well.
Jopefully it will be good news for you both.
Good luck!
The hiring manager still scores the interviews and selects the candidates though.with most other jobs I would assume the same thing. But apparently its not the same with the Railway.They operate quite slowly. Its probably because they have so many vacancies to deal with. Even now there is 145 vacancies on the NR website. Ive been waiting since the 12th October as I had an interview then but hopefully I get an answer soon
So is the issue that I have that the Hiring manager hasn't scored it and given the scores to HR yet?The hiring manager still scores the interviews and selects the candidates though.
Waited over two months for a yes before! The hiring manager told me he informed HR a day later. They told me over two months later!I would have thought after months, most people will just presume they’ve been unsuccessful.
What about for nos? How long does that take?Waited over two months for a yes before! The hiring manager told me he informed HR a day later. They told me over two months later!
The only time I've had news quick is when the hiring manager informs me himself!
