West of Scotland Signalling Centre

Network Rail is appealing for former signallers and controllers who can help to keep Scotland’s Railway running during the COVID-19 lockdown.

The rail industry wants former signallers, train running and incident controllers and ECRO colleagues to return to the industry to boost numbers in these key posts.

Full refresher training will be provided and former colleagues will be able to help play a vital role in keeping the network open.

Scotland’s Railway is working around-the-clock to keep NHS staff, other key workers and essential freight supplies on the move across the country.

All signal boxes and control centres are currently operating normally and the network is running well, but Network Rail wants to build a contingency pool of experienced people ready to step in if current staff have to self-isolate in the weeks ahead.
