Hi I'll be starting signalling school on the 24th of Oct as the title suggests, Just wondering if anyone else on the forums at the moment is?

Congrats Ken!! I will Also be starting signalling school the same time as you, so see you there pal:D

Cheers for the reply, I know it will likely be fine and something small. At worst it will be a false positive through something I have eaten/ medicine I have taken. It's just that I have had a few medicals and drug and alcohol test with NR and this is the first time I have received a call...
