I too, would appreciate any info on railways, my OH currently works on passenger trains here in the UK, and we would like to know if it is possible to get a similar job in Oz? And if so, who does he apply to?

Re: future employment on Aus railways
We are in Perth. My OH was a duty station manager for network rail in Manchester. He applied for the Transit Guards from the U.K as a way back into the railway over here. It took about 3 months to get in and he is really enjoying it. He says there appears to be lots of opportunities for promotion or change within the railway. Talking to other lads it appears that they like to promote/recruit from within, pretty similar to the U.K. Dont know about other states but Transperth advertise there vacancies on their website.

We are going to Brisbane, so not sure what the rail network is called there (if any knows it would be a help). I will start looking on the web and try to find their website,
