Hoping there is some one out there who works this type of roster. One of the roles I am applying for is 8 hours, but 12 hours at weekends. There doesn't seem to be any meal relief or relief. In stead meal relief is built into the roster and so is general purpose Spare. I was wondering how this...

Some clarification. I know the 10 reasons. But in AB and even TCB land can you authorise a WDM across two or more areas or are the 10 reasons listed in TW7 only in your area of control - or if in the block back to your area of control? I know there are rules in both TS2 and TS3 for working in...

Anyone on here who can give some advice about Internal signalling post. Is the interview the same 8 non tech skills or do they throw in some rule questions.

I have just checked train times for Macc to Manchester for today and on Rail Enquires and noticed that the cheapest fare was £14.50 anytime return. No sign of the £9.10 Day return I thought I would check the Virgin website and it was the same there. No sign of a off peak day return. On...

My local station runs into Manchester piccadily and the ticket says manchester stations. So am I able to go to Victoria vai Salford crescent ordoes my journey end at picc. I know I'm unable to use the metro as the ticket is not valid, and when asked at my booking office they told me they can...

This may seem like a stupid question, but for the last couple of weeks traveling on TPE I have often looked at the tiny section that is First Class. Not many seats. Do people know how many 1st class tickets they sell. For example if the 10 or so seats were sold online via the TPE website in...

Mod please move if in wrong place. Hello all. I'm travelling to barrow from Manchester in a couple of weeks and managed to get some cheap advanced tickets. My concern is while on the outbound it clearly states the time and date of the train that is valid. On the return ticket it just...

Hello Excuse me if this has been posted or answered but today I was at Piccadilly and waiting to catch my connection to Oxford Road on the TPE to Blackpool :46 service. The train that rolled in was a Northern (Not sure of type) all it had on it to tell people it was the TPE was stickers in...

Hello Signallers. I hopefully will be signalling trains. Got my medical this Friday and references are being checked. But I'm a little confused with the choice of pensions and was wondering if people could advise or explain in layman terms my true options. The way I understand is...

Hello, I'm planning on travelling from Crewe to Hereford tomorrow. According to National Rail Enquires the cheapest fare is a West Midlands Day Ranger for £24 . When looking at what a West Midlands Day Ranger was on the NR site - it said Network West Midlands area (West Midlands...

Hello Silly question, but I can't find an answer anywhere and for some reason there is something in my mind that says 'No' I suffered a delay on a journey the other week, but part of my payment was used via rail vouchers. When the TOC comes to look at my claim will they knock the value that I...

MODS please move if posted in wrong section. Hello, I know you can claim if your journey is delayed by 30 minutes and you get more of a refund or value of rail vouchers if it is delayed by an hour etc. However, I was travelling to Barrow in Furness on Friday and planed to catch the 17:45...

Hello guys. So after many months of trying I got the phone call to say i got a role as signaller :D. It has now been three weeks and I have still not heard from HR :(. Any others out there who can put my mind at rest and give me the time frames between the phone call to say 'you got the job'...

I have had one before like this, where the following week saw it turn to 'Invite to assessment 2 pending' followed by a phone call a couple of days later to arrange an interview. But not being one to assume, does 'Application under consideration for assessment 2' basically mean my assessment...

MODS PLEASE MOVE (if in wrong place) Hello I am planning on travelling to York on the 22nd May and on the Rail Enquires website it says possible rail strike action. Does anyone know what this strike action is and when it would be confirmed and which routes it would affect? Thanks. Also it...

The other week I heard two old guys talking on the train as we came into piccadilly where one of them stated that Manchester Picc had the potential to be the most dangerous station in the UK as trains need to cross from the east lines to platform 13/14 and vice versa while there are a large...

this is just a query. I normally ride home from work but the thought of the 20 miles put me off today, so I decided to get the train at Stockport back to Macclesfield. Now from picc a single off peak is 3:90, but from stockport its 4:50 as they don't do off peak apparently. I really don't...

Hello all. Just a query. I travel from a station into Piccadilly where I have choice of three TOCs. Correct me if I am wrong with my first assumption but is the fare spilt between the three TOCs, as there is no way they know which service I would use for my return leg... If this is so then...

Mods, please move to correct forum if this is in the wrong place. Hello all, I have received a £20 Rail Voucher from Virgin, but it is not clear on how I can spend it. What I mean is do I have to use it all in one go. As the cost of the rail fare for the routes or services i most use is only...
