Thank you for the advice, much appreciated, I will go over everything during the next few days and I take note of keeping my rules knowledge up to date.

I have just successfully completed IST and have a ruling with my LOM and my OM next week. Anyone have an idea how in depth these will be and how long they will be. Many thanks

Thanks Tom, just trying to sort my pay out.

Can anyone give me a link to the 2020 pay matrix for signallers please.

No one has replied to my question yet.

Anyone know where the signalling school in Manchester is based ?

Sorry for the stupid question but what is the 4% FP, in fact what is FP ?

Good luck, try not to cry when the nurse gets on her rubber gloves, it's only for your urine test

Well that's the medical passed, just waiting on the urine sample to pass and hopefully I start induction next Monday. Nice day out in Edinburgh as a bonus.

I had a phone call with an offer the next day after my interview . It depends on the LOM work load and the urgency of filling the post would dictate how quickly they got back to you.

I wish they could have sent me there instead of Edinburgh.

I've got an open mind and really looking forward to it, in some ways I wish I never left but I'm back now and not going anywhere else.

I had feeling that would be the case, thanks for the quick reply n

I've been very lucky and I've got a great LOM who has been very helpful and proactive, she has pushed really hard to get me a place in signalling school as soon as possible . How times have changed, you used to get a return ticket for your medical, I even got a ticket for my interview back in...

I applied for my first vacancy in May, interviewed in June, offered the job the next day, start signalling school in York on the 5th August. I have been offered 4 signaller interviews since then as well. I'm 56 this year, if I can get there so can you, keep trying. Any one else going to York...

I've just noticed a vacancy at Wigton SB in Cumbria, it's a grade 2 but the salary is £28592, why is that ?

Parking in York is a nightmare, I will be driving to the Signalling school from Newcastle on a Sunday night and driving back on a Friday night, what have people done about parking. The hotel they are providing charges £25 a day and obviously I cant afford that, any advice would be helpful.

Many years ago I used to be relief signal man along this line and know all the boxes well. Wylam has canny set of steps as it's set on a gantry, infact I visited there today to catch up with my old mates and I had forgotten what a climb it is, so that will get you fit pretty quick. There are no...

Meals, breakfast provided at hotel, lunch provided at the training center for upto £5 (hot and cold selection) and dinner provided at the hotel upto £25. (Choose off the menu) anything spent above this your expected to cover Thank you for clearing that up for me, cant wait to start now.

What about meals, I presume that breakfast and evening meals are at your hotel, what about lunch, or are you given an allowance and you fend for yourself? Sorry for the dumb questions, it was a very long time ago that I last went to signalling school, infact we were given free rail travel to...
