I drink enough cuppas each shift to keep an Indian tea plantation in business though, so surely I claw back some signaller points that way ;)

Ah well can't moan about missing the extra bung for the 6 hours on the morning of good Friday, god knows we do well enough anyway :) Thanks for cleaning that one up for me, much obliged.

Hello folks, sorry if this has already been touched on but just trying to work out how Bank Holiday pay gets calculated. I'm based in the London area and was on nights (Thu - Sun, 6PM-6AM) over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. I opted for HROP (200%?) so would the following be the case: Normal...

@MylesHSG just pm'd you :-)

I think it applies to those getting the train up too. Boom boom.

Alright folks, bit of a random one but figured it's a good place to ask as there are loads of fellow signallers here. I have to have a tooth taken out next week so will be given a local anaesthetic. Appointment is for 10am so should be all done by 11am. Would I be pushing it to then work a...

If you don't already know the phonetic alphabet I'd suggest looking at that.

Re the above, I'd just mainly focus on having a scenario to hand for each of the 8 Non Technical Skills (if you search the thread they're listed somewhere), and have a good think about why you would deem safety so critical to the role of a Signaller. Maybe my colleagues and I got lucky, but...

Hello matey, I completed the training course last year and to be honest it is very intense. That being said it's also 'realistic', in the sense that providing you knuckle down and give it your all you should be fine. The only people who tend to come badly unstuck are those who mess about and...

Morning, Just been trying to wrap my head around this performance related pay malarkey. Does the below sound correct: 60% local scorecard + 40% national scorecard = 44.81% 44.81% of the maximum £1500 comes out as £672.15 I'm sure I can't be the only one who, in between studiously attacking...

Ah brilliant, thanks very much for the clarification :-)

Thanks for the very swift replies. I've not printed the tickets yet but attached is the email confirmation I received with journey details. Cheers!

Morning all, I need to go to Doncaster for work next week so my employer has booked me a standard anytime return, leaving Kings X on Monday 17th June and returning Tuesday 18th. The booking specifies certain trains but as it's an 'anytime' fare I assume I can just get any train I like (please...

I had a similar thing when I first applied, and I found out at interview it was because they had a few vacancies at boxes in the same area and so rather than recruit specifically for a certain box they just hired a 'talent pool'. I think 4 of us were taken on in a fairly short timespan and then...

I can only speak for York, where I attended school, but I would imagine all training centres follow a similar structure (for AB - not sure how training works for other methods). Basically, at capacity they can have four classes running at any one time (there are only four classrooms equipped...
