Signalling vacancies with network rail are like buses.... I have waited 5 months to hear back and all of a sudden I have been offered four interviews in two weeks. Perseverance seems to be the key. Keep the faith if you are waiting!

Just got an invite to assessment 2 for a grade 4 signalling role. Has anyone been through the process recently? Any advice on what to expect? There are lots of signaller interview threads on here but most of them seem to be 2+ years old... Thanks

If I have had an application listed as ''invite to assessment 2 pending'' for over a week now and I haven't heard anything do you think there is a problem? Is that perfectly normal... TIA

Do signalling jobs only go external if there are no internal applicants? Or if there are not enough internal applicants to make a suitable pool? I guess what I want to know is are internal applicants always favoured over external. I assume the answer is yes but.....

Nice one, thanks. No email as of yet, just notice that status had changed when I logged into the portal...

Does invite to assessment 2 pending mean I will definitely get an invitation? Pending what... Anyone in the know? Thanks

I was in your position about 4 weeks ago. The actual NR tests were a lot easier than the SHL example tests. I don't think the pass threshold is set too high, because I passed and I properly f***** up the verbal reasoning.

What is the difference if any of an application being listed as ''unsuccessful'' Vs ''application unsuccessful'' in the NR recruitment portal?

You mean you **** in the cab? Because I have always wondered about that....

I have applications that have been like that since December.... I think things take a while.

I am interested in how people maintain concentration for long periods whilst driving in isolation, particularly during night driving. How do you approach the task as a professional driver? - Do adhere to a specific diet (high protein meals, no caffeinated products)? - Do you play...

I would go almost anywhere to accept a signalling job. I currently have ten applications under consideration for locations up and down the country. Whether they will look unfavourably on candidates who have to relocate I have no idea... Maybe someone who currently works for NR can enlighten us?

Write it out in a word document and copy and paste it. Doesn't save the page forms individually...

Congratulations! Which box is it?

Nobody likes a tease...
