It is 13 weeks since the date the job was advertised (If the job is vacant at that point) OR the point which the job becomes vacant after the 13 weeks from the date of advertisement.
Regarding pay due to correct enforcement of an old rule you will only get your previous grade while training...
You're better off asking the questions openly on this thread, Rugby SCC has popped up a few times on the external list so your questions may well help in the future.
BTP will respond between Timperley & Altrincham as that's NR metals. Also not unusual to find them down at Piccadilly metrolink, and I'd resume though don't know first hand Victoria is the same.
Not sure if Cambridge is a Sub-ROC as such, York ROC has several Sub-ROCs in it (South / Kings Cross whatever it's called this day of the week, Leeds (Former York IECC area), and Sheffield, but they're all in the same building.
Sandhills was recently given signs outside which say it's a ROC.
If that is the case (And I only say that as it's not happening everywhere like that), make sure you are claiming under the 13 week rule (From date of advertisement if the post is vacant) and bypass the training grade all together.
Query this with your local RMT rep & recruitment. As far as I am aware the conditions of the Green Book (Available on the RMT website) still stand in respect to payments while training, which is generally one grade below, and the FP of the new role straight away.
I wonder if £2.9 million is enough to recommission Ty Croes as a block post instead of a crossing box and shorten the longest block section on the route.
You'll get different opinions on this I think. From the signaling side if you've got a failure, you might talk 30 or more trains through it in a shift, but to that particular driver it's the first time in months they've been talked by.
FOC drivers working engineering trains, and even more so...
No problem mate, I'm probably a bit quick to jump on these sort of things but I like to keep on top of rule based posts that might be misinterpreted by others.
Out of interest have any drivers here actually been talked by under S5 Reg 7?
S5 Reg 7, brought in in 2020 allows the passing of two signals at once under very specific circumstances, and I'll be honest there's not many places you can actually do it in reality.
Emergency Special Working (S5 Reg 5) has NOT replaced Temporary Block Working (S5 Reg 6), TBW still exists, and...
As someone who holds a Personal License for sale of alcohol and who has worked in the night club industry I'm well aware of how differing groups or people react to alcohol.
My point was simply that someone deciding that an alcohol ban on the train means they'll drive doesn't have to point to...
That's a little overreaction isn't it?
Now here me out as you obviously have strong views on this! If I have the choice between paying £50 - £75 for an off peak return to take me away for the weekend (Let's say out Friday evening back Sunday) or driving, driving will probably win on cost...
