    NTCC Signaller Irish Rail

    Ay up all, I've progressed to the stage of having psychometrics with Irish Rail for the Signaller role at the NTCC near Heuston. I know broadly what to expect from psychometrics as I've sat them in the past. I work in an Ops role on the railway in GB, but I understand that it is a completely...

    Visiting family while COVID-19 circulates

    If this isn't the right place for this then feel free to move/delete. I'm currently at home in Glasgow visiting family for the second time since restrictions have eased. This is the first time, however, that I've seen my grandparents who were (and still are to an extent) shielding. Despite the...

    Next Train to Glasgow

    Just a question about old BR signage. I'm at home in Barrhead visiting my family and I've just remembered the old "NEXT TRAIN TO GLASGOW" board. I know Gilmour Street has a similar display in a different format and I'm wondering if these were widespread, and when they started to disappear
