  • I wake up in the morning get ready and go down to the hub for breakfast. I wake up around 7am and then go the hub by 7:30. The breakfast is really nice with a full English. I then get on the bus by 7:50 and go from HMS collingwood to HMS sultan and i have to be there for 8:15. I sign in and go to my lesson. During the day i do lots of different work which all interests me quite a lot however some jobs can be a little boring.

  • I receive so much support from my trainer because i once gave my work in 6 weeks late due to unforseen circumstances and they still helped me thrive. If it wasnt for them I wudnt be here today but they always encouraged me to go the extra mile and acheive success to my maximum. I am happy with all the support i receive and i could not really ask for more help from my training provider.

  • Onviously the money is not sufficient for me but i do manage to get by.

  • 9. Would you recommend Network Rail to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I would but then i will be like if you dont mind the food then hop along. Through your year of sacrifice u will reep the fruits later on in life. It is a brilliant opportunity for young as well as old people to join and build there lives up through a career at network rail. I would say that it's worth looking into even if you were not interested in engineering anyway.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Network Rail?
  • Try as hard as you can because I personally think this is the best apprenticeship out there simply because they pay you well and look after you very well and in the future there is so much hope for you to progress. After the apprenticeship you are staright away on a wage of £28,000 per anum and you can easily progress further which is a really good incentive too to join.
