I don't think so from my experience. Colour blindness, hearing, blood pressure, drink, drugs, pee test for diabeties. They will assess your general mobility but it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck with the interview

Be careful on that - good to ask what effect that announcement said - but be careful of the sources and the slant they have. The unions have said that all to do with the hope to sell off NR - Chris Grayling explicitly said that NR will remain a public body.....

Permissive working perhaps?!

From the BBC - Chris Grayling........ His plan is for Network Rail and train operators to be part of joint management teams, so that when things go wrong they work together rather than "throw contracts at each other". The railway track will remain owned by Network Rail and it will continue to...

It's a first political shot from a bloke who has no clue about the industry. No one will be making investment decisions today, or tomorrow based on that. I cant see that splitting out the signalling function to TOCs makes any sense anyway. NR's recruitment is hardly fast for a whole host of...

Not really. They will always need signallers and just because someone may change who the manager is won't make much difference. What happens now - do NR suddenly stop migrating to ROCs? No they won't.

This. Often not fare evasion as such. Machines not working and the guard doesn't collect fares on many trips. Despite the fact it's a single train on its own section there's often no crew, the crap 319 train broken, leaves on the line etc.....

Don't want to shatter your dreams but nothing is quick. After the interviews, which may not all be on the same day, they have to make a decision. Then they prepare a conditional offer, then you have to read and accept it. Then they have to they check references and do a medical...... Then they...

They will ask you about situations in your previous life to judge the non-technical skills. Just make sure you take a moment to evaluate the question so that you actually answer it, rather than tell the something interesting! NR core values, everyone home safe every day etc, growth of the use...

The government opened up the telecoms market. Competition happened and has some success. Ofcom have now decided that Openreach need splitting from BT as despite all the attempts to regulate them, they have consistently favoured BT retail rather than Sky, Talk Talk etc..... Surely if GWR ran...

Wow they told you quickly. Were they as you imagined or did you think the lift test was faster than you thought? The next stage requires you to be in the top 5 for the position I think. Good luck

I think it was 60 or 90 seconds and you WON'T get them all. I didn't and they offered me a job! Just work swiftly in an orderly fashion and it will be fine. Half of me wonders whether that's just a warm up exercise anyway as its the thing they do first. There are better things to practice at...

There is never a good reason to do your test in an automatic, unless there is a medical reason, or old age, whatever. It doesnt save any time unless the learner has no coordination. To answer your question, most fleets will be manual.

In a typical signaller's 12hr shift ROC environment, how often would you get a PNB or a chance for a coffee & a bite to eat? (I'm NOT talking about a fag break!) Are there rules set down or does it depend on the location?

That was the quote from the OccHealth contractor to NR. Never mind safety critical - I know that's not good for anyone! 140/90 was what I expected to hear.

There is a vacancy on the NR website now for Belmont LC Fixed term until 31/12/16 with a close date of 22/11/16. Now that doesn't work!

If they have a job advert in the website it has one IRC even if there are multiple roles. Once they work out who they are going to offer to, they create more IRCs and move candidates over.

They sent my SJT a few days after the close date.

I was wondering what the BP threshold is applied for a signaller medical? My doctor is adjusting my medication at the moment with slightly unpredictable results. I asked the medical company what the requirements and they said less than 180/100?! Surely that isn't correct? Apologies if its...
