ATC visit

[davinci]

Hello,

I'm new to this forum and have an intrest in atc,i myself work in the rail industry in a busy signalling centre.Myself and few other lads are looking to visit an atc centre,the thing is i don't know if it's the done thing or not,or even how to go about it.If it is possible would anyone be able to point me in the right direction.

Cheers :O

Try contacting the CAA and ask them can you get a visiting pass. Tell them that you are interested in the industry...fingers crossed.

Well I do know that several groups of ATC staff have visited railway signal boxes in the past. Seems like you lot are much like us - seriously bad sense of humour, etc!!!

Hope you get a visit in somewhere......

Yeah so im being told years ago some of the lads from here(Reading panel)went to West Drayton for a visit,don't know how they wangled it though.We have a bad sense of humour and also a difference of opinion with the drivers,we're right they're wrong:O

Contacting the CAA might work but I doubt it. ATC at Centres (and lots of other places including LXGB (nearly)) is run by NATS. So try http://www.nats.co.uk
