Signaller

Overview

Template:RankThe Signaller Rank [SG] is a group rank in the game that gives you access to the Rail Operations Centre where you can control the signals around the network.

Signallers can control the signal systems of the line at the Stepford East Rail Operations Centre

The Senior Signaller is the High Rank and trainers of the Signallers rank, and the Head of Network Signalling is the head of the Signaling team, senior to everyone in the team.

Signallers are given a small number of commands to help deal with situations they may come across. However, they are still Low Ranks, and therefore for use of commands approval by a Senior Signaller is required. The commands they get are, kick, mute, trainlist, traininfo and dispatcherlist.

History

Signallers were originally called 'Controllers' before The Big Update and there were about only 8 people who had this rank.

On December 28, 2017, there was a public 'Controller' training which boosted the number of controllers from 8 to about 20.

The old signallling room used to be in Coxly and only had physical buttons to change the signal. This area has been demolished as part of The Big Update however the area was still accessible to signallers until it caught the attention of the developers and it was locked off completely.

The signalling programme had a complete rewrite in the Big Update, and now it requires an application process.

In the new V1.1 update to Stepford County Railway, the Rail Operations Center was relocated from Benton to Stepford East.

As of present, there are 223 signallers.

To Obtain The Rank

1. You must be ranked as a Dispatcher (or above) in the Stepford County Railway Official ROBLOX Group.
2. When SG Applications open, you must apply and get acceptance from the Head of Network Signalling [HNS]. Once accepted, you will be ranked as a "Trainee Signaller" (Rank is same as 'dispatcher' until you finish all of the training processes, but gives access to Signaller Lounge + Signaller Voice Chat.)

SIGNALLER APPLICATION is presently closed for Dispatchers.

1. You need to attend both the Theory & Practical Sessions for Signallers. A training schedule is available here. https://teamup.com/ksjvsq64z76yng84g8 Note: You MUST have passed the Signaller Applications to be able to attend Signaller training sessions.
2. After attending both of these sessions, you will be ranked as a Signaller and you must book an Assessment with any Senior Signaller to become a fully qualified Signaller. There are 3 chances for assessments - if you fail 3 times, you will lose your Trainee Signaller rank and you will need to reapply.

Avoiding Demotion

• Don't try and troll people by deliberately adjusting the signals to danger without any purpose.
• Don't use this rank as a way to discriminate lower ranks nor use commands without further knowledge.
• Don't abuse or be insulting to staff but try avoiding getting into very 'outstanding' conversations with rude or intolerable people.
• Do your job. Don't slack on it.
• Don't cause SPARs.
