As far as I'm aware most 12hr rosters for a residential location (Not relief) You are guaranteed two Sundays OT per 4 weeks, one night shift and one day. 18 hours paid at 1.5x and 6 hours paid at 1.25x (Monday 00:00 to 06:00). However your rostered Saturday night will also earn you 6 hours at...

How long did your medical take to come through mate? Had my medical last Friday but still not heard anything. I've been told by my LOM I'm on the 4th April course in York too. Two weeks away but still not had my initial start date through.

Cool. 4th April sounds ideal for me. There's already someone waiting in the wings to replace me so my boss has said I don't have to give the full 4 weeks notice. I've not officially resigned with a finish date as of yet, just made him aware of my intention. I might give HR a call in a couple of...

Well done for getting in too! Which box are you going to be working at and what school will you be training at? I applied in September and once tests had been passed I had my interview in November and got told off my LOM the week after I'd got the job. However the person I was replacing didn't...

Thank you very much for your responses. I think I'll try to learn the bell codes first and stay clear of the rule book until I start. I've been past the box a few times as I'm local and aware of the manual crossing so whilst not in peak physical condition ha I think I'll be fine. Really...

Evening all, I applied for a position as a Grade 2 Signaller at the Daisyfield Signal Box in Blackburn in September and have recently received my formal offer letter. :) I've a ton of questions which I'm sure will get answered during signalling school but I'd like to get a head start if...

Yeah. 10:30 Looking at the 8 core non-technical skills I can definitely relate to them from past work experience. Wonder why there's 3 positions for one location. At least we have a good chance compared to normal.

Pretty much the same. Retail store manager. Looks like we're in the deep end fella ha

Brilliant. Well done mate. What's your background? Do you know anything particular about the signal box in particular? The assessments don't bother me that much just the interview and knowing about what's entailed and the area.

Got a phone call yesterday inviting me to the assessment in a couple of weeks! It is for Daisyfield so if I get through the assessment then I best swat up on the area it controls as I currently have no idea. In the email invite it states look at the signaller recruitment booklet online which...

Thanks for the reply. Got an email saying he SJT scores will be taken into consideration for the next stage of the recruitment process. As goggy02 said, how did you find signalling school pgbagget? Also, what did you do in the time between signing your contract and starting signalling school...

First of all thanks for the replies. I found the date of the closure on a website. Doesn't seem to be official in anyway but had all the signal boxes and date of closures. http://www.signalbox.org/sectionc.php?year=2026 I'll also leave the rule book alone. Hopefully should hear something...

Good Morning, I've recently applied for a Grade 2 signaller position in Blackburn and have just completed my SJT. I've looked at the Signaller Recruitment Selection Information Booklet and seem quite confident about the content within it an what to expect from the tests. (Although not looking...
