    Female Railfans (and why dating is difficult)

    Had a look on one or two of them, not really found them helpful. Even looked on a niche interest one, not railways, wasn't overly impressed. I see plenty of girls about who look like my type but you can't really just go on looks! Don't get in any situations to actually meet them either. Working...

    Network Rail Advanced Apprenticeship Scheme 2012

    I applied in January, went for the assessment in March and found out I had the job in about July I think. Some people found out sooner and others later. When I applied they conducted the interview at your chosen depot but last year they started doing them as part of the assessment day. I think...

    Network Rail Advanced Apprenticeship Scheme 2012

    I applied in 2011, before they did the applications through Facebook. They started taking applications in January then. I think you should be able to register your interest earlier though. You don't have to upload a CV as such when you apply. You just answer the questions on the online form...

    Calculating Ballast Resistance

    Ballast resistance is the total resistance between the rails due to the ballast, sleepers, point fittings etc. It can affect track circuits. As you may know a current flows through the rails to form a track circuit but if there is low ballast resistance, due to wet weather for example, it...

    Network Rail Advanced Apprenticeship Scheme 2012

    You'll see, it will be one nut house to another then. You'll enjoy it if you like eating crap, not getting much sleep and using dirty toilets and showers. It's not all bad though, it's worth sticking at it as year two is a lot better. Best bit of advice would probably be don't believe everything...

    Network Rail Apprenticeships

    Last year for the group exercise we were given some cylinders that fitted together and we had to make as many squares as we could that all joined together, or something like that. I think they may have changed it this year to having to make a track for a ball to roll down. A few of us did it as...

    Market Harborough to Fareham route change 15/4/12

    Maybe that is what is affecting the timetable. Like I said if I get times for each leg seperately they are about what I'd expect so I'll just take my usual route and hope for the best. It does say that there is a reduced service on Sunday morning and early afternoon from Waterloo but I'll be...
