Does anybody have any information about Eastfield signal box in Peterborough? From what I've read it doesn't operate the main line but operates the sidings, if that is correct what I've read, would it be very busy? Would it be manned 24 hours 7 days a week? Thanks

Very interesting! Great to hear the thoughts of a new signaller for all us potential signallers. I'm currently swatting up and getting a few examples for each of the NTS as I have an interview next week, my first time getting to the interview stage!

I'm on my 2nd read through of this awesome thread, currently at page 287! The first time it was about 60 pages when I first applied for a signaller role. I've taken screen shots of many relevant posts, have starting a note book and printed some bits off to read up on just in case my current "...

It is confusing! When you Google Wymondham the main one that comes up is in Norfolk! Good luck if you do apply

There is a box in Melton right next to the station, there is also a small manned crossing just outside Wymondham, Leicestershire. Wymondham is about 5-6 miles east of Melton, the crossing is on a little road running out of Wymondham to the south west. There is a Wymondham in Norfolk too but im...

LE14 2SD is the rough location of the crossing. I've driven over the crossing a couple of times its on a little country road just out side Wymondham.

Hi Kraken, I believe it is the same job as yourself that I have an "invite to assessment 2 pending" message. Good luck to you! I have been watching closely what Amanda08 has been asking and it is all really helpful and answered a lot of my questions. Just going to go back through this thread...

Hi, it's been a couple of years since I last posted on here, I applied for a few different signaller roles over the time, waiting for opportunities to come up within a sensible distance of home. But unfortunately i was never successful to get to the interview stage. Fast forward to the present...

Does anyone know if Sundays are included as part of the shift? Also would there be much potential to earn more than the stated salary? Just trying to weigh up if I can afford a pay drop! I really don't want to waste there time or take up another more suitable candidates space Thanks

Some great advice that I'll take on board and good luck to you! I applied for two positions in Peterborough I went to "under consideration for assessment 2" so I was hoping id get an interview however, it then changed to unsuccessful. I was gutted and a bit grumpy but I've managed to get over...

Hi, I have had an email this morning saying I've met the required bench mark in the online test and my application is being considered, for Peterborough G3 and G6 positions. Does this mean I may get an interview? I still have this small amount of worry about it being 12 month fixed term...

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to write that! Very informative. I'm sure I'll be going back over that a few times. I have applied for both grades I'd be happy in either role as they both sound really interesting with lots to learn. Thanks Dean

Hi, Yes hopefully it is a 12 month apprenticeship leading to a longer term role, if not I'm sure with all the time and money NR have invested it would help to get a signaller job else where. Are you applying again? I've applied for both positions, fingers crossed! Just waiting to see if I'm...

Thank you, makes sense now!

Just spotted 2 jobs come up at Peterborough a grade 6 & a grade 3 position. I applied for a grade 3 position a couple of weeks ago but the job was withdrawn. Two questions: Can I apply for both grades? The advert says 12 month fixed term, this is a worry, is there a good chance of getting...

Well, I have applied for a signaller position and have just been invited to test. I have three tests numerical ability test, verbal ability test and instrument to complete. I have been practising the verbal and numerical but not sure what the instrument one is, can anyone help? As I would like...

Thank you for the replies. That SHL website is very useful and I will have a work through it. I think I will have a look into volunteering at nene valley railway in Peterborough. Maybe a bit of a daft question but does anybody know if there is any vacancies coming up in the Leicester...
