Congrats!

Perhaps you could liaise with some others on here in a similar position to mutually check and help each other - as mentioned previously, there are lots of pointers regarding improving cv/69 Qs etc within the thread. Good idea in theory, but I'm not sure the hiring managers will have the time to...

Unsure externally, but there seems to be jobs advertised at York ROC fairly frequently internally. There are some on the internal list at the moment plus locations within a commutable distance too. I don't know if/when any of those might go external - but I have in the past seen these locations...

My medical results came back in about 3 weeks (pre covid), then a start date was agreed after another week.

Congratulations!

Your rules knowledge should be fresh and up to date, which is a bonus - there's no harm in applying for any grade. There's a number of jobs in the Birmingham area - which i presume is your location - being advertised atm. Even if you're unsuccessful with those, if you apply, i would bet that...

Does anyone work at/have experience of Doncaster PSB or York ROC (specifically the King's Cross link(s))? If so, would you be able to send me a PM, so I can ask some questions? I've seen the jobs advertised internally only, so don't want to clog up the thread! Thanks in advance!

Is this for real? Sounds like you might be taking the Michael somewhat... If you cannot figure out the log in process on the careers page, or put in the minimum effort required to find the answers to your basic questions (answers within this thread, some only a few pages back) and instead write...

I found the practice questions slightly more difficult than the actual test, however...seeing how the practice questions were made me search, and find further material to prepare myself etc to become more comfortable. Google is your friend.

From what you've said, I presume that you have completed the original tests within 12 months? If not, then these may be similar? If they follow the same format as the SHL tests then there should be example questions to guide you on what to expect. I believe that (this?) a recent TVSC advert...

I believe that the Woking grade 5 panel covers the Farnham area, whereas the other 2 panels make up the large main G8 Woking area panel.

Don't try to get ahead with course material - as it will be taught in a manner that's easier to understand than you just reading it in the book. If you want (or, are able) to, save yourself some time/hassle and do your e-learning before ist.

Regarding this point, of there not being many signaller vacancies externally, it really should highlight the importance of having your CV, covering letter and answers to the 69 questions (+ examples) ready to go, because in this environment there's a good chance vacancies will close early (due...

RE salaries, pay rises (or lack thereof) and money: It sounds like people have some very valid opinions, even if we don't all agree exactly. I'd welcome a gesture, a token increase, considering we've been at work the whole time. Lockdown or not regardless of the amount of passengers, trains...

Thank you both!

Quick question regarding Bank Holidays - I have looked through the thread, but it's not clear. Bank holiday RDW - HROP: 275% or LROP: 175% + comp day - all monies are "extra" as it's a rest day worked, right? Bank holiday booked shift - HROP: 250% or LROP: 150% + comp day. Would this mean that...

That's only advertised internally, and so has the LOMs details at the bottom of the ad. Probably get your questions answered if you call/email him.

Just my opinion: Doing some learning or a course to better yourself shouldn't be looked on negatively. You might learn a few things that are useful, but as said many times before, signal school is where you learn the important stuff for the job. If i was in your position i would consider: How...

In case people are wanting some info regarding specific panels/locations, the below website has plenty of photos - not all of them up to date - but perhaps of use when box visits aren't currently an option? Not my site, not my photos etc. https://photos.signalling.org/index?/categories
