Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions about rail plant or my job role as there must be many questions that you want to ask im sure Martyn will also answer some questions.

What do you need to go on the railways? Cpcs?
Whats the ££ like?

First of all all workers that work on track need a pts (personal track safety) everyone needs one but then road rail drivers need a CPCS Road/Rail red or blue card or Sentinel OTP card to operate plant on track. Also as a gigarailer driver i was sent to rexquote http://www.rexquote.co.uk/ to do training on the gigarailer spent 3 days there and now its all I drive on projects as i am so used to them. also the pay is very good pays the bills etc

yeah as well as the otp on sentinal card,24 shifts/ logbook entries in two years to keep up each category,unless you're on a companie's sponsor list you can't get on.

You don't know what you started with a post like that. Where do I start. lol. Where can you get your hands on second hand equipment from nut runners to road railers.

of tea although some people love it and would do nothing else,when on bcl the rail men hated doing shifts on civils.
