I could be misunderstanding you but NX is normally used as shorthand for National Express and if that's what you mean I'm not sure why you're asking that as signalling is a matter for Network Rail (formally Railtrack).

NX is a type of signalling panel. It stands for Entry-Exit due to the way the routes are set up on the panel.

The grades have changed so it would now be a 7 minimum, probably higher though.

thought i would have got more info, all the older signalmen must be in the great sb in the sky:cry::cry::cry:

Dunno but the last one I spoke to and reported a code 2 signalling fault was a right miserable so and so. I must have made him drop his choccy digestive in his mug of tea when I called him.

 

[fatbarney]

Thats why I was asking, there always was rumours about the place was riddled with bad tempered ill natured and left wing trouble makers who were always trying to antagonise managers, and would strike at a minutes notice,.....

 

[fatbarney]

Sad there is no railmen on here who can help as im thinking of writing a book.

cheers

To Myboysam

Can you redirect this to some of the signallers at ESC, there input would be good

Thanks

Heard there is a high number of gay signallers at this locale, any truth in this rumour

I struggle to see what how that aspect of a person's private life is in any way relevant to signalling?

I believe there are websites if that's your thing.

This thread is now rather awkward for me, as I know a couple of the staff in there.
