I doubt if the issue with your eye was a factor, as you can hold a PTS with restrictions. I’d imagine the latest news regarding capital delivery cutting 31% of workforce was more of a reason.

I’m only aware of a level 3 engineering apprenticeship with Network Rail. The only level 2 that I’m aware of is for operations, which generally would be aimed at signallers. I can’t really comment on any apprenticeships outside of Network Rail, and have never known anyone to apply for a job with...

For a basic PTS.? You wouldn’t.

Absolutely, this is across the board. Many new managerial roles were created for the PPF programme. This would have been a nightmare to organise at any time but throw into the mix the fact that the new fatigue legislation comes into play plus the new instruction of zero RZ working and this...

He is right. Any competency you may hold would not officially be valid without TR00 (Track induction) The course itself is geared up for new starters and covers the basics but for to the pre requisite for all other TR competencies. If the company your are applying to wants your services, surely...

On Mondays briefing from Ellie Burrows, she mentioned the fact that we are running with 30% more staff than we had in 2012. The last time we saw anything on this scale was 2BC. On that occasion the redundancies were handled by the way of voluntary, not to the scale of 30% though, plus as someone...

PTS should not be an issue. every new starter has to undertake an induction course (TR00) which is 5 days, one of the days is set aside for PTS training. If any individual already holds a PTS, they sit out the PTS training but still have to do the other 4 days.

Not to my knowledge.. 75% off any season ticket.. I’ve sorted a few of these out for staff and I’ve never come across an exception.

Not sure what you mean by that but yes you get 75% reduction in the normal cost of a season ticket.

Part of your onboarding process should have covered subsidised season tickets. For the record you get a 75% reduction, which is very employees entitlement.. Your line manager should supply you with this so I would ring him or the recruitment advisor that dealt with your application..

I Guess it depends on which company you work for. From my experiences - If you get medically redeployed via the stood off process, you should remain on your existing salary. If that salary is higher than the new role you are given, the likelihood is you will not receive annual pay increases...

If the load overhanging the back of a lorry exceeds 3m, police have to be given 2 days notice and an attendant is required. From what you are saying, you have 4m overhang, if you take that without informing the police or having an attendant you are looking at a pretty hefty fine.

Recruiting is on hold at the moment so it’s going to be a waiting game I’m afraid, also for clarity, HR have nothing to do with recruiting, so if you are trying to contact them, they will not be able to answer your query. It’s resourcing or on-boarding you need to speak to.

We haven't been informed as yet. I have 6 vacancies on hold, all have been sifted and awaiting interview dates. I have chosen not to do these via skype or microsoft teams. All I am waiting for is a date from resourcing as to when we can undertake face to face interviews.
