Thanks for the quick reply. I visited Mroc in the past and I’ve now gathered that different links have completely different setups.

Hi all, does anyone know how the Liverpool workstation work at MRoc? I have looked at some maps etc and I know locations but does anyone know if it’s controlled via ARS or DRS. Also is it the usual 2 on 2 off over there ? Thanks in advance

Thanks very much for explaining. The staff shortage thing happens some days here too..I guess it is what it is at the moment. Lots of Manchester ROC jobs going at the minute on internals..

Hi. I am interested in transferring from TBROC to Manchester ROC for the grade 8 workstations. (Currently a 9 at TBROC) I would just like to know whether the break systems are the same (2 on 1 off or 2 on 2 off) as this works for me as I get time to use the gym or catch up on other work. I know...

thank you very much for that information. Much appreciated! I see jobs for manchester ROC coming up quite frequently. Hopefully if i'm not successful this time around I wont have to wait long for another one to come up!

thanks guys thats much appreciated! also I will have a look into the PON now !

Hi all, current grade 9 signaller in the south interested in moving up North to probably a G8 position at Manchester ROC, could anybody help with some route/workstation knowledge? I'm due to arrange a signal box visit but I'm travelling up from the south. I'm currently searching the forums and...

Ok. Thank you for the info Tom. This is very helpful.

Hi all, has any experienced signallers got any tips for a fellow signaller taking the leap from a lever framed box (TCB area) to a VDU workstation setup in the near future? Any reads ? Excited to say the least! Thanks

Gloves, wipes, hand sanitiser (LOTS) and face masks! It's hard to keep the 2 metres distance when doing a handover in such a small place!!

I work at a single manned location, I've covered one shift since the whole covid situation. My box also has 5 or so area relief signallers to cover shifts, we've only had a couple signallers go off for self isolation! On the other hand, a mate down at an undisclosed grade 9 location has been...

Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone else's application status has changed to under consideration for assesment 2 for Three Bridges ASC x6? I've only spoken to people who got the thumbs down which is unfortunate, I never really expected to hear any updates regarding applications for now...

Thanks for the quick reply! Would definately like to work there.

Hi all, I have applied for New Cross Gate signal box recently. Does anyone have any information on the panels? is it NX or VDU? Will the box be getting transferred to a ROC any time soon? Also I've read on here that it is ran on 12 hr roster, can anyone confirm this? Thanks
