I'll see you there I guess I've just had the greenlight to attend on the 8th of April too. Everything still getting organised but hotels and trains ect booked.Absolutely over the moon, I now have my start date for a G7 role at York ROC and my employee number! Hopefully starting IST 8th April, if anyone would like a timeline from application to job offer let me know.
I had a face to face one couple of months ago at 9am I asked could I live I as I come of nights at current job they moved it to 1500 and was very happy to do that also thanked them at interview for moving it and they said anything we can do to make it easier not a problemCan someone share some experience in regards to interview date, if you are invited to interview will they give you some days to chose from? I am a bit nervous as it is very difficult to get last minute leave in my current situation
Well done , definitely not a course to be taken lightly .Just completed week 9. It's tough. Not to put anyone off.

I have read quite a few different posts where people details timeline of their applications. It appears that it is anything from 2 weeks upwards. Take also into consideration lobg BH weekend. If you already completed your online test, next step will be face to face interviewHey all,
New to this thread but have just applied for a G2 position at Arbroath, and considering applying to Auchenblae as well.
How long does NR take to get back usually? And what can I expect to happen next?
I applied yesterday on Indeed, is it worth applying again directly through Network Rail?I have read quite a few different posts where people details timeline of their applications.

There's no signalbox (or railway!) at Auchenblae, I think they mean Laurencekirk.Hey all,

No. External signaller recruitment is handled through a recruitment agency - if you have applied through Indeed then your application is in and will be scored.I applied yesterday on Indeed, is it worth applying again directly through Network Rail?
Good afternoon all,
Does anybody know what shift pattern the G9 desks work at Didcot?
And what are the break arrangements on those panels?
Thanks

Nice one! What are they doing about eLearning? I started on the 25th March and It took a week to be able to get online lol - although tbh the 10 day eLearning course can easily be done over 2 days!I'll see you there I guess I've just had the greenlight to attend on the 8th of April too. Everything still getting organised but hotels and trains ect booked.
Still waiting on joining instructions and need to get all the relevant rule books.
Happy but nervous haha.
To be honest I don't seem to have any learning to do. I'm internal so the likely hood is the e learning I did previously was relevant.Nice one! What are they doing about eLearning?

I was given 2 dates to choose from; a tues and a thurs in the same week with multiple slots. Check your emails regularly as I believe they are first come first serve. Might differ through grades but this was only last month. Hope that helps?Can someone share some experience in regards to interview date, if you are invited to interview will they give you some days to chose from? I am a bit nervous as it is very difficult to get last minute leave in my current situation
Any advice on being better prepared then haha.Word of advice….the e-learning is awful, and gives you very little preparation for IST.
You’ll find that out as you progress! Easy two weeks wages, but I’d have preferred to have been better prepared for IST!
That's perfect, thank you for easing my nervesI was given 2 dates to choose from; a tues and a thurs in the same week with multiple slots. Check your emails regularly as I believe they are first come first serve. Might differ through grades but this was only last month. Hope that helps?
Thanks. I was in 2 minds whether to stay at hotel or not as I don’t live that far. But I think I’ll just stay and it’ll give me peace to study. Hope you pass everything you need to.It’s difficult mate. Week 9 final written in the morning. If I could give you any tips it’s keep upto date with every single subject you do during the day. Go back to your hotel and look over the stuff from that day it helps massively.

Class, thanks alot for taking the time much appreciated sure the advice will help manyJust be prepared to put the effort in from day one of IST. Day two will blow your mind, think I wrote 14 A4 pages of notes that day.
I passed my week 10 observation yesterday. Personally I found the theory side of things difficult, although I knew I would. Putting it into practice on the sim was much easier.
It’s intense, you’ll have days where you wonder if it’s for you, but depending on the group you have with you, it can also be fantastic.
It gets easier as time goes on, even though the exams/obs get harder each time. Work on getting to grips with the basic early on, and be prepared to put extra effort in outside of class to get to that point. You need to understand the basic principles fairly quickly, because if you don’t it’ll become a struggle. Get used to signalling trains normally, and then the rest slots in as you go along.
Can someone please tell me about the area covered by New cross gate signal box and roster shift pattern. Thanks.
I would definitely reccomend it even if you are close , bonding with the rest of the group to help each other out with revision and preparation for observations is in my experience will help a great deal .Thabks, I was in 2 minds whether to stay at hotel or not but I think I will, it will give me peace to study. I hope you passed everything you needed to.
I would second this , if you are unclear on a concept , particularly early on make sure that you ask the trainer to explain it in a different way or get someone else in your group to help you understand it .Just be prepared to put the effort in from day one of IST. Day two will blow your mind, think I wrote 14 A4 pages of notes that day.

Yeah mate take the hotel. And take the opportunity to study as a group as well. Dunno how to pm on this but if there’s a way and you want to message then feel freeThanks.

Thanks. It's Grade 7 right?The whole of the East London Line from Highbury & Islington to New Cross inclusive, New Cross Gate exclusive (fringe with TBROC) & Queens Road Peckham exclusive (fringe with TBROC).
Works a 12hr shift pattern but I’m not sure on the actual rotation.
I can't see ETCS being introduced in that area very soon, and no it doesn't remove the need for signallers, although it may reduce their numbers.Forgive me if I’m way off as I’m a complete beginner who hasn’t even started IST yet but I have read on another thread that ETCS may be deployed in the Warrington area. Does this completely change a signallers job or remove the need of signallers at all ?
