What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?
Find out what project management is - p'raps read the APM's 'Starting Out in Project Management' (that may not be the exact title). Find out a little about the rail industry, but there's no need to try to come across as a total anorak - in fact, it could be a disadvantage.
Do you have any interview tips?
Questions you may be asked:
'Why do you want to work for Network Rail?'
'What interests you about project management?'
'What appeals to you about Network Rail's Project Management graduate scheme?'
+ a number of competency-based questions: example of time you've shown teamwork/leaderhsip skills etc.
One which stumped me: 'What tools does a project manager use?' I was thinking along the lines of planning software packages (since joining NR I've discovered that actually there will normally be a dedicated planner who does this), but the answer they were actually looking for (or one of them) was 'risk management'.
