Given that they're standard questions for all external candidates going for an NR ops interview, its probably best not to quote them publically
why ever not?

So while I believe in interview prep, knowing the actual questions you're going to be asked allows a level of preparation that means the wrong person could get the job more easily just by interviewing well.
so it has nothing to with, appearance, approach, aptitude, ability, ( or any other A's you can think of..) ?
wouldn't answering all the questions, word perfect, make the interviewers, smell a 'rat'? Diverging from formatted prepared questions will eliminate this, I'd of thought, or would it make them consider, that this individual, has prepared better than most?
Damned if you do, damned if you don't....
For a start, three of your A's are addressed by the questions asked (and thus assessed by the answers given) and why should appearance matter anyway?
It's a scored interview, which is scored by an HR representative that isn't in the interview.
I hear they are looking for specific "buzz words" what are these exactly?
Are they? I have had four interviews now 2 successful 1 not and still awaiting outcome of the fourth, and I can honestly say I have never used any specific so called buzz words.
sounds a tad complicated an assessment/interview, of whether a person can safely open a gate or not..
Because there is a lot more to it than just opening a gate!! :roll:
really? enlighten me ( & others..) if you please...

I suggest you go on-line and read the Rule Book in respect of Level Crossings!
They are still Signallers and have to go to Signalling School, although parts of the syllabus does not apply to them.
They are NOT just "gate openers" as you so rudely describe them.
Plenty of crossing keepers - grade 1 - control their own (non-block) signals, and won't have been to signalling school. I understand (open to correction) that higher grade crossing keepers, the likes of Helpston, do need full signalling training.
A grade 2 block post is a different kettle of fish!
Thanks, I wasn't sure about that part! I'm sure that the higher grade crossing keepers on the ECML (who just have slots on the protecting signals) have all been to signalling school, but I'm not entirely sure why.I'm currently a grade 2 crossing keeper and control my own signals... non block, and did not attend signal school.
I do though work alongside 2 signallers.
