ive applied for the grade 7 position but considering the crossing keeper just need more info asap as it would be a commute and a wage drop possibly dependingon the top upsI was wondering this as I've also applied for the Cambridge crossing keeper one. Have you also applied for the grade 7 Cambridge position?
But is it easy to transfer from crossing keeper to signaller role and how long roughly before u can start applying for other postsRemember if you possibly take a wage drop, it’s worth it in the long term once you get a Signaller job.
From the benefits section of the NR website;
Does this include the 8 Bank Holidays each year?
- 28 days’ annual leave and the opportunity to buy or sell two days per year
Brilliant thanks so I'd have to go to signalling school if I managed to transfer! Do they still get the same perks i.e. shift allowances and outer London allowances etc as I'm trying to work out how much of a pay cut I'd be taking as I'd have to commute and possibly stay over it says base salary 25kIt’s as easy or as difficult as you make it, get in head down, work hard = easy.
Get in, mess about, go sick, cause issues = hard to impossible.
Once you’ve completed your initial six months probation you can apply for posts.
As a crossing keeper you won’t go to signalling school, so you can’t transfer as such. But you’ll have a lot of more evidence for your application than someone who is raw to the job.
No it doesn’t.
Also as signallers you cannot buy and sell leave (it’s usually management grade).
Brilliant thanks

I've sent you a wee private message.@Highlandspring could you expand on the controller grades please mate?

Has there been a new grade chart with the new payrise ??
It shows the Train Service Code from which the FOC can be derived if you can find the appropriate information to do so...
what sort of shift allowance etc would i be looking at on top of the cambridge crossing keeper base pay which i think is 25k please? and does anyone know anymore about the job ie shifts bing 12 hours etc.
same with the sittingbourne one please
Brilliant thanks for the clarification only trouble is 8hour rosters meaning I'd have to stay away more days in a month I guess!This vacancy is for a Bridge Operator at Kingsferry Bridge.
8hr roster. Good starter job: no signalling required and generally not too many bridge lifts per shift.
You’d clear £30K and property in the surrounding area is relatively cheap.

same with the sittingbourne one please impretty much now willing to apply for anything to get my foot in the door,
also will it be easier to go from a crossing keeper to a signaller then getting a job straight into signalling?
Basic is £27,705
£121 per day turn (8hr roster)
£182 per day turn (12hr roster)
£12.18 per night turn on top of the day rate.
£182 per Sunday day turn (8hrs)
£274 per Sunday day turn (12hrs)
All in grade with just booked turns would probably be circa £33,000, you could easily do £40,000 with an average amount of RDW.
It really does depend on how understaffed your location is, if there are Sunday or night turns some locations close or switch out on nights or Sundays.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me if I am likely to be able to park at Network Rail, Gresley Rd, Basingstoke - I have my medical there tomorrow...
Thanks
thanksIf you phone in advance and book it in, then I’d say yes. If you don’t and just turn up, then I’d say no.
