Chances of moving signal box?

[wizzly18]

Ive just been offered a position as a grade 2 signaller in wales. The advert said one area but the actual signal box is 1hour away from home instead of 20 minutes. If I were to accept the position, what are my chances of moving signal box after a time and if it were possible, how long does it usually take for a position to come up?
Thanks

I did a commute of an hour to my signalbox.
As to the chance of moving, yes it might be possible but there are too many variables to say how long it would take. I can think of Boxes on my old line that never had a vacancy in 8 years.

Since getting promotion 15+ years ago from my small one man box the an ASC I've had a commute of an hour either by train or car in average conditions. Now I've gone up the grades to the top and all the small boxes in my area have since closed, this is my life until I retire. But sideways moves or promotion to places of work that are nearer to home are generally out there most of the time, it's just about biding your time and waiting for a vacancy to appear.
