"Traffic Manager (Signaller + Line Wide Systems Control)" Equivalent of a G9, plus 30% - based in Romford: https://tfl.taleo.net/careersection/external/jobdetail.ftl?job=037644&tz=GMT%2B01%3A00&tzname=Europe%2FLondon

Reference the careers sites, see my recent post with all relevant links to follow.

Having spoken to some management types, I think there are several reasons for the fixed term contracts, such as: 1. There may be a gap for that amount of time at a particular location that needs filling for reasons such as Maternity, illness, staff secondment etc. 2. The "fixed term" element...

I stand corrected!

Thought tvsc had G9 positions also?

Seen, thank you!!

I've seen previous comments in the thread regarding getting a higher grade job, and then claiming the grade after a certain time - 13 weeks after job closing date has been mentioned - would someone be able to tell me exactly where this is written down, and perhaps share the literature via a pm...

Just added a third...:rolleyes:

Regarding vacancies advertised externally... NR have several official careers/jobs websites, which do not seem to link up in terms of what is being advertised. If you heard that the recruitment process is painful then this highlights one of the reasons why. No, that doesn't make any sense. Yes...

Congratulations, well done!

I know the feeling, being a bit of a waffler myself. Having a brief tactical pause could help, as mentioned - I will have a drink there to swig on, to give me a moment to reflect on the question before jumping straight in with a rushed answer. The 69 questions from the application are a...

Yes that's the one. So I think you'll be expected to find (or be directed towards) a permanent position after training, in the area. With regards to rosters, you'll very likely find out more details after you've finished signal school.

Isn't New St a G9 panel? I'm not in that region, but I believe there were a number of G6 candidates taken on in various general recruitment drives recently - I understood that these people would be trained (signal school) and then apply for vacancies in the West midland area. If that is you, or...

I think the answer to your question is a definitive "it depends". Each individual will have different priorities. Some people would prefer the Sunday off instead of working it despite the money, whatever the grade they are on. Some on the opposite side would be loathed to give one up even if...

Unsure about Western, but Wessex is a local agreement with the TOC (SWR), in which (operational?) staff are able to apply for a free SWR staff travel pass. I *think* that these are valid for both work and leisure travel. You can also get a travel pass for partner/children. But note, this is not...

Reference NTS interview questions (external): The initial 69 questions that ask for an example are pretty good guidelines of what you might expect.

Would be worth knowing some stations and train operators etc that you'll deal with in that area, but there's no guarantee you'll be asked about those things in particular. I was once asked to list some types of infrastructure, so bridges, tunnels, rails, signals etc. Some interviews will be...

My thoughts. You (anyone) apply, pass the initial assessments, but don't get to the interview stage. Possibilities: 1. You could have had a great set of answers to the 69 questions and a decent CV/covering letter - but someone else's were just a little better, they had more experience etc. 2...

if you look here there is a contact number for recruitment: https://www.networkrail.co.uk/external-system-support/career-support-request/ "For general recruitment queries, please call our recruitment support team on 0330 855 1140. Lines are open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm."

Best advice would be to call on the number provided on the recruitment page, first thing (0900 onwards) on Tuesday - there should be people back in after the bank holiday weekend by then. You won't be able to contact anyone from NR recruitment before then, I wouldn't have thought.
