well done... so wasn’t a waste of your time then was it;)

I didn’t lose the rdw when I isolated a mo th or so back. Was paid all rdw and my Sunday. Weather that is box/LOM dependant I’m not sure!

Definitely box dependant as at my place they work their shift pattern and train on them days! which I would’ve preferred rather than training on 8 hour shifts!

You kno your base roster (days you are booked to work) in advance, then at midday Thursday, the roster for the following week becomes binding so will kno exactly what times your working. Some roster clerks send out a provisional roster 2-3 weeks in advance so you can plan ahead, but this is only...

Most of the time on my patch it is due to following a train, especially annoying when your an inner suburb panel with upto 24tph, mostly running on restricted aspect, really dont understand the need to constantly sg at every signal!!! But I also appreciate that sometime it is needed (see next...

[ from a personal point of view I wouldn’t like this... I enjoy giving up my sundays and picking and choosing what I want to work and when... I’ve never had any problem getting them covered.... there are quite a few in my place that give up all their sundays, so I’m presuming they wouldn’t...

No it don’t. It just means your through another stage and is now with hiring manager to decide who he/she wants to interview.....

depends on the panel/link tbh!! I work less on a grade 9, and have less faults and failures than when I was on a lower grade where the panel was a bigger workload and also lots more faults and failures!! you can work harder on a Grade 5 lever frame than a grade 9 with ARS!! I would say it’s...

when I had my medical there (wltho was 2-3 years ago, there was visitor parking. So not a problem to drive. Just drive up to the security box, tell the guard you have a medical show them the letter and they will let you in

This amount of times they make a decision that just defies logic and creates more of a problem/delay!!! :D but like you say, depends who is on shift, some are really good and pro active, others, not so much!! probably exactly the same as signallers;)

Smart jeans and t shirt are fine!

Not 100% sure regarding the shift pattern but I’m sure they have/are changing to 12s as I remember a friend mentioning that but it was a while back!! as for signalling school, you will be placed on the next available spot.... yes extra places/schools being set up, but you’ll be sent wherever...

An application can be advertised both internal And external, it is up to the LOM to decide what he/she prefers. I know of a few at my place that has been advertised internally and externally... All you can do, is wait and see if you have been selected for interview! Which could be a long wait...

Zero!!!!! Where you hear this from!???

been said here many times but signalling is not a “drop down” or a back up for not being a driver.... you need to carefully consider if signalling for you......

I have an app called shift life that I use that connects to my calendar. I’ve put in my shift pattern and then it puts this into my calendar on a rolling basis so I know my shifts a year or two ahead... I then add and rdw so I keep track of it. I then keep the email from my roster clerk in case...

Read the sticky at the top of the forum.... all your questions and more will be answered in that thread.... but in short, could be a few weeks, could be a few months, railway recruitment is slow at the best of times, add COVID-19 to the mix and it has got slower. To give you a example, I...

not uncommon, in my place there a number of grade 9s who earned 100k, but that included a fair chunk of RDW.... !

and goes back to your other post about using the search function, there plenty of people asking this question and people advising them of examples etc.... Just use the search function. I think there is even a post (not within the signaller careers section that gives an example question and...

That’s what the search function is for!!!! :D:D As for your question, no you don’t need experience in rail to become a Signaller as mentioned above.... I was from the outside and got a position. It just requires you to show you have the skills, experience and aptitude to make it as a signaller...
