+English usually works, but having some French will help you. If you do not know a great deal of French, Google Translate is getting very good and you could have this at the ready on your mobile telephone. If you feel inclined to learn some French (or other languages, for that matter), you might consider trying out Memrise, a nifty learning website.

+The bus stop you will need to get somewhere (i.e., CERN) is likely to be the one on the corner as you leave the airport. As vague instructions, after you pass from the baggage collection area to the foyer, turn left, following signs for buses, and eventually you will reach a yellow escalator. Go up this and, at the top, come back on yourself, exit that way and you will be standing essentially at the bus stop.

Go up this escalator and, at the top, turn back on the direction in which you came, exit that way and you will be standing essentially at the bus stop.

Public transport information can be accessed at TPG.

To go from the airport to CERN, you may be able to take one of the following routes:
 

 Take bus 57 (going in the direction of Gare de Meyrin) from the airport to Blandonnet and then take tram 18 (going in the direction of CERN) from Blandonnet to CERN.
  Take bus 23 (going in the direction of ZIPLO) from the airport to Blandonnet and then take tram 18 (going in the direction of CERN) from Blandonnet to CERN.
  Take bus Y (going in the direction Val-Thoiry) from the airport to CERN.
 



The following information may be dated or obsolete:
 In order to go from the airport to CERN, take bus 57 (in the direction Gare Vernier-Meyrin) to Hôpital-La Tour and then take the tram (on Route de Meyrin) to CERN. The tram stops outside building 33, the reception building.

  CERN Shuttle Service 

The CERN Shuttle is a less frequent but direct service that operates on weekday mornings and afternoons. If you do not have a CERN access card, you are permitted to have transportation to the CERN reception building (building 33).

 Now, go to the CERN Users' office in building 500 and hand in your CERN registration form (making sure both sides are filled in). You should also hand in evidence of health insurance. If you don't have it, you can send it to the person you register with at a later date.

+Next, go to the ATLAS Secretariat on the top floor of the D wing of building 40 (the ATLAS/CMS building) and hand in your ATLAS registration form in order to get put onto the HR database. After the ATLAS registration, you can order a key for your office. For this, you simply fill out a requisition form. It takes around a day to have your new key made.

+Now, go to the ID Office in building 22 (which is near to gate B). Go up to the top floor first. Here you will receive details (user name and passcode) for internet access. You will also be instructed to do the Safety Information Registration (SIR). It is a set of online questions and it is not difficult. Now, go down to the ground floor. Here, you can get your photograph taken and your new CERN access card. If you want, there are toilets on the ground floor with mirrors, so you can make yourself look very attractive before your photograph is taken. Finally, go to your office, sit down and relax after all of that exercise.

 In case of problems etc., you can go to the CERN UK Liason Office. Here, you can ask questions and send and receive faxes (for those signatures you may have forgotten to get...).

It takes about a day to be put onto the HR database and you should be on this in order to register any portable computers you want to use at CERN. When you gain access to the CERN network, you can do the Safety Information Registration (SIR) by going to https://sir.cern.ch/. It is straightforward and some of the questions are quite amusing.

 This machine is temperamental at the moment. It appears to have a certain distaste for drawing in paper (i.e., the rollers are probably dirty), though there is a trick for making it draw in paper (see the manual for how to do this). Also, it appears to have a damaged sensor that is used for calibration (i.e., the sensor that the printer uses to measure its length is not working) that prevents the printer from completing its bootup procedure. Do not try to trick the printer into working by feeding it whiskey.

First, go to EDH ( the CERN "Electronic Document Handling" system). Here, you can create and activate a request for a driving authorisation (amongst other things). Log in to EDH using your CERN user name and passcode. After you have logged in, select "Access Request". Under "Required Access Line Item", select "+Add". In the pop-up that has popped up, select the following details (edit as necessary):

+CERN bicycles are provided free of charge. These are nice bikes that are serviced regularly and are a lovely way to get to CERN from Meyrin or Saint Genis-Pouilly. How do you get one? First, fill out this form as necessary. Bring the form to the ATLAS secretariat. There, you can get it signed and stamped. Now, bring the form to building 124. There is a deposit of CHF100 to pay (which is returned to you when you return the bike, assuming you have not blown it up or something). You could consider requesting a bike with a front carrier on it if you think it would be a good idea to carry a small bag (/animal/something else) in it. You should receive an e-mail in a day or so letting you know that your bike is ready for collection.

+It is a nice flat with three bedrooms, Wi-Fi, a stereo system, a telephone, a washing machine/spin-drier, a shower and the other usual things you would expect in a flat. There is also a television, if you are into such retro things. There is a great view of the Jura mountains to wake up to each morning. You can view the availability and book the CERN flat here.
