LOM is aware as all swaps get put through rosters so it is all published on the weekly roster sheets.

It happens in the ROC I'm at all the time, there are those who always swap their days for nights and vice versa. The trick is to get yourself on the opposite side of the roster to the person you want to swap with on a regular basis.

There are 3 links with grade 9 desks in TVSC, each link has its own roster pattern and differing break arrangements. Very roughly you do 3 12 hr shifts a week of days or nights and a couple of Sundays a month if you want them. Normally 3 breaks a shift of around 3 hours in total, dependant...

They want a 2 year deal but are offering less money than we are after for a one year deal and part of that is based on 'targets' being met. I've no issue with TMS as we already use luminate and ARS at our place, the only real problems with it are when the TRC's put trains in platforms they...

I work in ROC with 100+ other Signallers and as you can imagine this is the main topic of conversation. I've not heard anyone saying they would be happy to accept the deal, and this has been fed back up the line by the area reps. I think you are way off the mark with your 95% estimate, more...

There are 3 G9 links at TVSC, it depends on which one you are going on as to your exact roster. Very roughly its a 3 day week either mon-wed or thur-sat which alternate between days and nights, you will also get a couple of rostered Sundays a month once you pass out. So every so often you get...

To be fair if you are in Manchester and have agreed to relocate to your offered job in TVSC it is hardly unreasonable that they want you to remain for a minimum of 12 months. There have been so many in the past who promise to relocate to get the job, time and money is spent training them then...

Have you considered that you may have been up against some stronger candidates on this occasion? They only put a certain amount through to the interview stage for each role. So although it is marked against the same criteria as last time when compared against the marking of the other...

Good news, what box are you going to?

My blood pressure was too high on my medical. They told me it wasn't uncommon and got me to go back to my GP and get a normal reading recorded by them and forward it on. Didn't cause any problems and certainly wasn't an instant fail.

Anyone who posted on here about the TVSC jobs had a response yet?

Same here, was told it would be mid January as they are waiting to see how many staff will transfer from Bristol before they know how many new vacancies they have.
