I had a feeling the other poster didn't really understand, but cba to respond again.

The current salaries (from April 2025) are:

CSA1 full time = £45,641
OT rate = £32.25

CSA2 full time = £36,469
OT rate = £24.97

The RMT negotiatiated a 3 year pay deal.

Year 1 is from April 2025-Mar 2026 (current year).

Year 2 starts in April 2026 - Mar 2027 (a few weeks time). We won't know the actual rate increase as the February RPI figure isn't released until late March this year, but is a minimum of 3%. Most people in this forum will start on this uplifted salary of at least £37,563. (If RPI is suddenly 5%, then that will be the new salary.)

Year 3 runs from April 2027 - Mar 2028 and is a minimum of 2.5%

Isn't it great to be in a Union!
Fantastic to be in a union

Hope someone can clear this up:

As a CSA1 Night tube starting soon will I be allowed to take up overtime during day time shifts?
I ideally would like to do full time but they didn’t let me switch to the CSA2 full time campaign so I’m hoping to take on more work as 15 hours a week just isn’t enough.

Crazy because I know someone who applied for night tube and was told they have to either take a full time csa2 position or withdraw their application literally only last month

Yes, Reed checks were completed a few weeks ago.

I have called and they said they will call me when they have availability
I was an early November conditional offer and got the email to book OH last week - if that helps with your timeline.

Congratulations on offer!

I got offered early dec and didn’t receive my reed link until mid feb, they didn’t acknowledge my returned paper work until about 2 weeks after I had sent it, there was then a lot of back and forth because they had lost some e-mails etc. Hopefully this gives and idea of timelines.

Pretty much same timeline as @GoldenChef - I was an early November conditional offer, received reed link early Jan. What I would say is that it isnt linear - GC has caught up with me as we both have OH around the same time, and I'm aware of one person who was 1 month ahead of me but starting next week - so it's only a rough guide.

Best advice - be patient.

Hey, have you received the text/email for the medical questionnaire?

Thank you.

Ok so it makes sense I’ve not heard anything yet I guess.

It’s been around 4 weeks since I sent over my documents and not even a peep. I was getting worried. I guess it’s just a waiting game.

not yet, they did say on the phone that it says they have to receive the completed form 48 hours before the appointment but some people are not getting the link until the day before (or in some cases on the day), if that happens just take it with you.

Have you received the link?

Did anyone get any emails from Reed that mentions ‘screening test update’. Is this just something automated?

I had 'Screening Case Update' when I was undergoing the checks.

That is just to let you know there is an update on your screening case on the xms-portal, if you login there it will show you what has been updated.
