Hi Sorry I cant answer the questions, but I have been to the assessment so might be able to comment on that should you get there. Where did you find the date of closure? I have tried to find such information. Is there a master document online?

One final question. Is it acceptable to make notes when doing the fault finding question? or are you expected to remember the expected changes to all 4 shutters in you head as you work through the buttons?

Ordinarily I would wear a suit. Though in this instance it might be best to just go for comfort (but still smart of course), given the length of time the assessment could last. If all that candidates are judged on is performance, I think anything that could potentially improve performance should...

Thanks everybody Good point about the comfort. I think that it will be more important to be relaxed as you say, I might consider smart casual. If the assessment centres run fairly often, as seems to be the case, I am surprised there are not more theads on here with people asking questions...

Hello I am soon to be attending the assessment in London. Please could somebody confirm it is pen and paper or computer based. I am thinking of doing some practices on the map search and want to make it as realistic as possible. I intend to be fully suited and booted, unless somebody...

Thanks Bluejuice. As it happened I got a call today to ask if I was free to attend an assessment day in London in a couple of weeks which is great news. I said yes, and then the follow up email comes through with the details, interestingly the email wants me to phone and confirm attendance. I...

Evening all Signaller job for NetworkRail. I logged into their website and it says invite to Assessment Pending. Does anybody know how long in the future the assessment is likely to be? I am thinking about booking a few days away in the country and might not have access to my computer to...

I got though the CV filter stage and did the test :) Would you be able elaborate on what a relief post involves? Thanks

Thanks Where exactly is that box based? The location for the job is stated as "Ely", seems a bit strange that they dont just say Cambridge if thats where it actually is. Also do you know if that PSB will be in operation long term?

Hi all Is anybody able to confirm the location of this box?

Ok that would be good as I live to the north west of Ely :) Is anybody able to confirm location?

Thanks Its the box in Ely (Cambs), cannot find any details of it, in fact one site says it has been taken out of service. Can anbody confirm the current situation? Why do my posts need approval from a mod?

Thanks for the replies. Yes its in Ely, Cambridgeshire. I am struggling to find much information online. I have been on the Historical UK Railway website but it just refers to the boxes in the area that have closed. There isnt any details about the current facilities. Does anybody have any...

Evening all I have just seen a grade 3 job advertised. Does anybody know how busy grade 3 boxes are on average (I appreciate it varies)? Also the spec states "The salary for this role is circa £29,034 per annum, dependent on experience". Any idea how much less somebody with no rail...

Thats great I presume I should say a few lines about my interests out side of work?
