Thanks.
A fixed shift pattern I believe.
Question about the interview, has anyone taken notes in before or did you just memorise all the questions that will be asked?
Hi Mate, I've seen it in earlier pages of this thread that people don't recommend taking notes in. So probably best to memorise what you can.
Is this for the fiddlers ferry one mate? Mines still on test completed at the mo - best of luck for the interview though!
The moral of the story is don’t ring them
I emailed them last week and got a reply the next day saying I was still under consideration. No rejection.... yet.
I still have 2 at under consideration from May 2018, better ring them to get them to move them onSpeak of the devil, application status has turned to unsuccessful online. No email yet. That was for an Edinburgh role. 8 weeks to the day from the advertisement closing. Good luck to anyone going for these roles.
No, operatives do a different set of tests.
So, I have applied for the Grade 3 role at Crediton, I completed my 69 questions and had the email stating my application has been received and is under consideration. I will be notified if I have met the required selection criteria for this role and I am through to the next stage in the recruitment process.
After reading though this thread (not all 181 pages mind you), I am slightly confused, if I have hit all the keywords in my answers to the questions, is the next stage the 3 online tests, if I reach the benchmark for them its then the interview? I have recently completed an online test for Operative Roles for NR, do they get used? TIA
If you pass the initial sift you'll be invited to do the 3 online tests, if you meet the benchmark the hiring manager will review your application. You'll then either be invited to an interview or rejected as far as I'm aware.
I’m not sure much of a sift happens after the seventy questions. On my first go I didn’t answer any of them that required words yet I still got through to the three tests! The hiring manager considers everything though, the initial questions, your test scores and your CV. I’d guess that the initial questions are probably the most important bit.
Hey all,
Not seen any mention on this thread about the Edinburgh and central Scotland vacancies that closed a few weeks ago. Got an interview for both and was just wondering if anyone had any info that would be of any use about the locations of both and technology used?
Hi guys,
I've just applied for Wylam via indeed's website and my application is now pending. I'm confident of my competence for the role but I just wanted to ask how strict the fitness side of things is- I'm no slim Jim so some kind of idea what their standards are would be much appreciated.
I am also being proactive and exercising more now anyway, for my own good, but knowing what the target is would help!
Also, I can't believe it could be March 2020 before the next intake- Shirley, you can't be serious?!
Many thanks in advance!

Cheers ChrisRS, all the best in your role!Just come across that one, the location would be ideal for me. Already got something lined up though, good luck.
Many years ago I used to be relief signal man along this line and know all the boxes well.
Wylam has canny set of steps as it's set on a gantry, infact I visited there today to catch up with my old mates and I had forgotten what a climb it is, so that will get you fit pretty quick.
There are no levers at Wylam as it's got a small panel with buttons and the barrier controls, it's a lovely little box in a lovely setting right on the banks of the Tyne.
The vacancy has come up as one of the signallers is going to Newcastle IECC and apparently there are two vacancies at Wylam, not sure why they have advertised it as a temporary 6 months post.
Anyone know which hotel you stay at when you are at York signalling school ?
I've got a start date for the 5th August if I can pass my medical in time.
I believe you can get a parking permit for the carpark at York signalling courseParking in York is a nightmare, I will be driving to the Signalling school from Newcastle on a Sunday night and driving back on a Friday night, what have people done about parking. The hotel they are providing charges £25 a day and obviously I cant afford that, any advice would be helpful.
