If it's anything like what Maintenance on Network Rail's railway do then it depends what you mean by 'hard', there is some heavy lifting of equipment and parts, there are training courses you need to go on, and unsociable hours. There is also a lot of standing around waiting for trains to get out of the way though!
If you are interested in this sort of work I would have thought working on the overground railway would be more pleasant, as you are not in the dark underground.
Yes it's dirty, but there are these amazing things called soap and water, I find them quite useful after I've been out on track...0 -
Its a job and not that badly paid, you will need your pink card, track awareness card and various other courses they will send you on. Is it for a contractor or directly with Metronet/LUL or whatever they call it now?0
