If you have a quick search of this forum you will see plenty of posts about the recruitment process and how it works, I think LOM even answered a few question this last summer.. In short, no one had looked at your cv or covering letter before your tests. It is a standard that everyone who...

55k ish before tax with sundays and reasonable amount of OT to help 38k basic Sunday’s will add about 8k Night allowance about 1200ish so with no OT about 45-46k (not including inner/outer allowance et ) If on 12 he roster, each RDW is is £316 so add another 10k to get that figure to 55k you...

Should we ask for a pay rise..... of course we should. We set a precedent if we do not. Plus other key workers have got pay rises (quite rightly too) and so therefore there is no reason why we cannot ASK. Whether we get one to the magnitude that we want is another thing. As nom de guerre points...

im no expert but heard that this year will not be a pay rise or any new deal due to Covid-19 ha I g such an impact on the company (and of course the country) talk around here is most we can hope for is the current “deal” and therefore terms and conditions being extended... but it all just hear...

Tom your passion shines through and without downplaying what your saying, it just a regulating issue, not a SOTL. I hope you done get too down about this as your passion shows through on this forum, I have had it where I have tried some manoeuvres to keep things going, genuinly in the best...

haha problem!! may be just my place but if they change your request to change your shift and roster is only published and has not gone binding, then no, you would only get paid for the shift you work. however, if the roster has gone binding at 12pm Thursday and your asked to change shift, then...

Has the roster gone binding?

All signalling jobs if you are recruited from the street are apprentiships now. If it is a a future ops/or one of the talent pools where your trained but no guarantee of a job at the end, You’ll be required/encouraged to apply for jobs whilst training and during the 12-18months of the contract...

3 weeks Is nothing in railway terms. please read this thread or search it at the very least and you’ll see time scales from application to interview ranging from a month to 6 months. but a heads up, railway recruitment and HR in general is VERY slow. Just forget about the application, you will...

just because you have successfully passed the online assessments, does not mean you will get an interview for the role. Only the top 5 candidates get an invite. best advice I can give is once you have submitted your application, is to forget about it. Railway recruitment is notoriously slow...

Jeans with no rips, t shirt and trainers is fine

just playing devils advocate here and not saying I agree, but HR payroll could say that yes your are employed as a relief, but at the moment, you are not on a relief roster, so should not be claiming/being paid relief premium.Same as you shouldn’t be getting night allowance and Sunday payment...

no just was a double post.....

As long as it is 16miles from charring cross as the crow flies then yes you will get inner London, otherwise it will be outer London (upto 40miles from charring X) as for allowances, yes you get night allowance on top of base pay and sundays if/when worked are also on top of base salary.

I didn’t count the “last week” as Your only there 1 day;) I had my observation on the monday and was back at the box training on the Tuesday!!

signalling school (which I think is now 10 weeks down from 12) is all consecutive weeks. No breaks however, if signalling school is over for example christmas or Easter, then school closes down over this period, and it is therefore up to your LOM if they wish to ask you to come in over this...

you will go to the next available signalling course. Whether that be Scotland, York, Coventry or one of the new school centres that are popping up.

this.. in fact depending on what course you are on you might not even need to learn ell codes! I certainly didn’t!! phonetic alphabet is a must, apart from that, I’d enjoy the time with your friends and family before you head off to school. then put your all into IST in regards to revision, Sim...

u won’t necessarily be training at the Glasgow training center, you’ll be placed on the next available course, where ever that maybe! on my course a few years back, a bloke stayed at the hotel even though he was 15-20 mins away.. he still popped home to see the family couple times per week...
