Thanks to those of you who mentioned TS1, that'll be a huge help and I'll be sure to start learning the bells. Darbs, not sure about TCB or AB though so I can't answer I'm afraid. Thanks Justin

Thanks Darbs, not sure as yet what TS1 is but I'll Google it and see what I can find out. Slimjim, any news on your course date? I've been told 5th September to 4th November. I'm leaving my current job on 7th August and been given a start date of 15th August, which is great as I'll have three...

Thanks, I'll take a look at that too. Justin

Thanks Mike, I'll take a look. I appreciate your advice. Justin

Hello, I've been told I'll be starting signalling school in York on 5th September. Just thought I'd see if anyone else has been given the same course so we can keep in touch. Also, can anyone please recommend anything worth reading/studying before the course starts? Thanks Justin

Thanks, and where do you work?

Lewes, East Sussex and hopefully starting signalling school on 5th September. It's a great box and has a 1970s EnEx panel. Sadly though it's likely to be closed in a few years where I'm told the controls will be changed to VDUs at the Three Bridges ROC. Further for me to commute but I've...

Thank you all for the advice and sorry for the late reply; on a family holiday with two little people so as you can imagine it's hectic with no time to myself. I've got my medical next week so I'll post which way it went. Fingers crossed I guess. Thanks again to you all for the advice, much...

Hello again, Thanks for your replies. You assume correctly Tom, I'm not generally nervous. RAF 12 years and currently a police officer having served a few months short of 10 years. People often get bothered by injections, which I can understand, but they don't fuss me one bit, but a little...

Thanks to you both for your replies. My doctor is aware I have this issue so a letter sounds like a good idea. Scotraildriver, thanks for providing the figures. They seem really high as I would have thought the pass/fail limit would have been much lower. 160/100 is definitely right up there in...

Hello everyone, I've recently been offered a signaller position and have yet to take my medical. Don't ask me why as it's totally ludicrous but I hate having my blood pressure taken; so much so that my blood pressure reading's always through the roof. However, the last time I had it taken...
