I guess it depends on whether you have a particular preference, related skills etc to any of those subjects. Obviously, D&P, Signalling and Telecoms disciplines may suit someone with electrical knowledge / background whilst the others are more general subjects where most construction and/or industry skills could be adaptable. Any Health & Safety knowledge or experience is of course useful across the board.

People in the talent pool, keep your hopes up. A lot of people come and go in Network Rail, whether it be to different disciplines, depots or straight up leave. Our depot has just taken on 3 lads. All barely any railway experience (between 2 months and just over a year of contracting).
So many depots are understaffed, but management just don't get authorisation to hire new workers. Our depot has been complaining for over a year now, we've been running on the bare bones and it's been tough.

Is this for Network Rail, or a contractor? My assumption is the former. You’ll find your post has been merged into an existing thread; I hope this is helpful.
