Thanks for the info. Hey, is there a midnight shift (2300-0700) for CSA'a in major city rail stations like Liverpool Lime Street, or is the job strictly day and afternoon shifts when the trains are running?

Okay, thanks. Sorry for the mix-up. I assumed there was a series of salary steps for the first couple years before a CSA hit top pay.

Thanks for the reply, but do you know if the salary goes higher than £17,000 per year with additional years of service? If so, how much does it go to, and how many years does it take to reach top pay in this specific job of CSA? Thanks!

Okay, great. That's certainly manageable. Thanks.

I'm trying to decide whether I should apply for a Customer Service Assistant (Security) job on Network Rail or not. They list the salary as £17,000 per year, but they don't say anymore than that. Does the salary for that job go up at all with seniority, and if so, by how much, and what is...

I wouldn't mind the walking bit at all, however, I am curious: on an average shift, how many miles do you reckon you walked? Does Network Rail provide footwear to CSA's as part of their uniform, or do you wear your own black trainers/or shoes?

One more question, and I'll stop pestering you. Do you know if the shifts security CSA's work are steady or do they work a rotating shift pattern? In other words, would a typical Security CSA work days this week, nights next week and afternoons the following week, etc., or are they assigned to...

Thanks EM2, you're a wealth of information! I appreciate your quick reply.

Thank-you for the informative reply, EM2, you answered my questions. Do you know anything about this Security CSA job currently being advertised for Liverpool Lime Street? The job sheet says the salary is £17,000 per year, but it doesn't mention if the pay rises at all, or by how much. Do...

Does anyone know the inside word is on jobs advertised by Network Rail for 'Customer Service Assistant - Security'? It sounds like a station job where you help customers find their trains, assist disabled customers boarding, answer customer queries, etc., but what's the 'security' angle to...

Oh, okay, thanks for clearing that up for me. I understand now.

Thanks for the reply......Hey, what's a 'TOP Clerk'?.....And is a shunter somebody who hooks up and switches the wagons of the train? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Thank-you for the reply. What do you know of Freightliner Railway in Garston? Aren't they supposed to be one...

I have several questions about working for freight rail companies, and if any of you can provide me with answers, I'd be much obliged. -Is it true most jobs working for freight-carrying railways are at night? -What is the largest freight railway company centred in the NW of England, and...

Hello, Recently I saw a job advert from Virgin for an On Board Manager's position. Despite the implications of the title, I read on this forum that the job is actually office based in a depot and not on-board a train. Is that true? Is there any chance of an external candidate actually...
