    No MOMs follow a shift pattern, much like signallers and yes they accept non railway staff, as all will need to do MOM courses

    Morning Course will cover PTS and RIO, so don't worry. Although not sure where you got 7 weeks from?!? MOM course is nothing like signalling course - signalling is a block course with exams staggered throughout - MOM courses is about 20 separate courses, each competency is equal to a course...

    In internal, you'll be asked situational questions too...i.e What would you do in this situation? As a signaller, you should know what to do, but obviously they can't ask an external candidate this.

    I done it for over 2 years. One on 18%, then on 4%...4% is definitely not worth the unknown or the short turnarounds (Sunday night shift into an early on Tuesday morning) Great for variety, but I felt like I never really belonged. The resident staff do things their way, and as relief tou have...

    If you're called to interview, along with 4 others for example, they will hire one if the 5...there won't be a reserve interview list...this is my understanding of it, and I've had 5 interviews with network rail and also been on the hiring side of the table!

    As a driver, you're only in charge if 1 train while you drive it, whichever route you're on... As a signaller, you have 1000s of people to look out for, potentially! Go to a grade 2 box, then go to a grade 9 box...and then say they deserve the same wage lol. Training is same, and those that...
