As long as what you are taking is not illiegal, it will not go against you if you declare everything you have taken recently at the time of the medical. However you may be told to stop taking it in order to be able to start work

I did mine last year. I would say the same as most, plenty of rest the night before cos alot of concentration needed. I used brain training apps constantly like a week before to sharpen my concentration levels and response times, it seemed to help. Also I would say, they dont expect and very...

Hi all, Anyone else on here going to be starting signalling school at Peterborough on 17th Feb? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Also, has anyone on here been to the peterborough centre, if so whats it like? and whats the hotel like?

haha like it :) I'm conscious of it now and try not to, the more I think about it the more it looks like a nazi salute to me

To all siggies, Today I realised when waving to a driver as he passed my box, that, like most drivers and siggies, I just hold my hand up in recognition; and it looks very similar to a nazi salute, not the kind where they used to point it right up in the air, the more casual salute you see on...

Am I the only one who things signalling sims should be brought to android so it can be played on the move on a tablet or phone? Does anybody know of such an app?

Thanks guys, Yeah I've been playing simsig and really enjoying it, just wanted some old school absolute block as there's alot of those around me. Thanks ill have a look at those, I suppose your right it is worth the money, just being a bit of a skinflint :lol:

Hi all, Does anybody know of a good absolute block simulator out there that includes the use of bell codes and levers? I cant seem to find any barring one I found based on yapton crossing although they want like £30 for it!!!!

Thanks captainhaddock, yeah they did tell me, but worth reading all the same :-)

It's ftc till December but who knows where it will lead :-)

Thanks Tomnick, I'm absolutely chuffed!

I got the job! :D

yes your absolutely right, I have a habit of thinking too far ahead and I'm letting the excitement get the better of me. Thanks for that info :-) hopefully I'll be on touch soon with good news

Thanks for the info all :-)

Wow Dave thanks for that :-) you certainly know your stuff. The more details I learn the better, I'm becoming utterly obsessed with the thought of getting stuck in; and I'm quietly confident about the interview having had some guidance from my stepdad on the sort of thing they might be looking...

Yes I should imagine your right there. I've been reading 'out of control' by Dave Borshik. I wish I could go back 40 years and enter the ranks then, there's something special about manual boxes, and having the view from one. My grandad was a driver, my dad a signalman and my stepdad too. And I...

Idiot motorists won't manage to upset me haha, like water off a ducks back. Yeah that diagram is ace, thanks for that :-) --- old post above --- --- new post below --- As far as I'm aware it's 12 hour shifts including nights but that doesn't phase me at all, just means there's more rest days I...

Brilliant, thanks for that :-) I'll have a read. Yes I don't want to get too ahead of myself, just want to have a better idea of some of the basic rules and regs to give me a little bit of a head start. It's at brierfield, I've been to the crossing but didn't want to trespass on network rail...

Hi all, I'm totally new to this. I had an interview yesterday for a crossing keeper job and hopefully I'll get it. I've been wanting to work in the rail industry for years and this is the closest I have got, as vacancies are few and far between where I am. Does anybody know if there is...
