Telecomms - looking for a change..

[tommy2meg]

It is a Network Rail scheme. Not sure who runs it, but their man Chris Binns would be a good place to start via NR HQ at Melton Street. There may be stuff on NR's website. NR people on this forum may know more.

I am sure I could find it; however most of the conversion engineers are from oil, gas, nuclear industries- whereas it could be appropriate I do wonder whether the Telecomms experience is so directly relevant to railway Telecomms that no actual "conversion" would be needed. If you wanted to be more "Signalling" than "Comms" then certainly would be needed- the technologes however seem to be converging again and becoming more interlinked if not indistinguishable. NR's Professional Head of Signalling has been a Telecomms man for almost all his career and the IRSE Chief Executive I think did spells in each specialism. I'll try to see if I can collar a tame telecoms engineer (rare breed) at IRSE London meeting next week but otherwise I agree with Peter- check out website of NR and also a contractor such as Alcatel / Thales.

That's encouraging! Thanks very much.

I'll check the site out and check back here again soon.

Thanks Peter/PJW.
