In the most fundamental sense, the job of a signaller is to operate the signals and points that contribute to the trains running on schedule and safely. Because this is a safety-sensitive position, you need to be able to operate without direct supervision while adhering to rigorous standards on both procedure and safety. You will need to go through a rigorous screening procedure, and the material that is included in our free guide is certain to be of assistance to you in doing so. It is estimated that roughly 500 new signallers are hired by Network Rail each year; hence, if you want to be successful in the selection process, you must ensure that you are well prepared for it. You will be responsible for ensuring that high safety standards are maintained not just during routine rail operating processes, but also during times when there are disruptions and accidents on the track. Trespassers on a railway or, more often than not, a train that is running behind schedule are the two most common causes of disruptions on railroads. Being a signaller demands excellent communication skills, a strong sense of responsibility, the capacity to work under pressure, and the ability to make methodical judgments in a timely manner. In addition, these talents must be able to be developed.
